The Success of Chemishield at a Leading Petrochemical Facility

About The Client

This major petrochemical facility is part of a multinational energy and chemical group, operating one of the largest refining and chemical manufacturing complexes in Europe. With operations spanning the production of polymers, fuels, and solvents, the facility handles a diverse range of hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams.

The site employs hundreds of engineers, technicians, and environmental compliance staff who are responsible for managing and safely processing large volumes of industrial waste, under strict regulatory scrutiny. The facility prioritizes safety, operational efficiency, and sustainability, with waste compliance forming a cornerstone of its environmental policy.

The Challenge

‍Before adopting Chemishield, the facility relied on a combination of paper logs, spreadsheets, and manual tracking systems to manage waste. This created major inefficiencies, including:

• Errors in waste categorization and labelling
• Lack of real-time visibility into container levels and locations
• Lack of real-time visibility into container levels and locations
• Manual audit preparation and slow reporting cycles
• Non-compliance risks due to missing documentation or missegregation
  ‍

The absence of an integrated digital solution meant that critical compliance data was siloed, slowing response times and increasing the risk of safety incidents or regulatory breaches.

Before Chemishield, our waste management process was fragmented and time-intensive. We relied on handwritten logs and manual spreadsheets, which left too much room for error and slowed down compliance reporting.

Why Chemishield?

Chemishield was introduced to bring structure, speed, and traceability to the facility’s waste workflows. Today, the team uses Chemishield daily to log waste via mobile devices, generate QR-coded labels, and monitor all hazardous materials in real-time.Built-in validation rules and automated prompts ensure proper segregation, while the system’s audit-ready interface means all compliance records are instantly accessible. The platform’s real-time tracking and dashboard view give the operations and EHS teams full visibility across the site, reducing manual labour and preventing over-accumulation.
