One Touch Data is a Software as a Service provider of environmental data management software and analysis services to customers.
HazWasteOnline™ is web-based software for classifying waste as either hazardous or non-hazardous, based on its chemical composition and both UK (post BREXIT) and European legislation. The software follows the latest national and EU technical guidance. HazWasteOnline™ lets the user focus on what is in the waste rather than how to do the calculations or keep up with the changing regulatory requirements and data.
If the waste is destined for landfill, the classifier can also assess their results for meeting a landfill’s Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC).
Other functions include screening tools for Persistent Organic Pollutants (UK and EU), Soil Recovery Sites (Ireland) and Human Health Risk Assessments for contaminated soils (UK).
HazWasteOnline™ provides waste producers, consultants, brokers and waste receivers with a simple, accurate and auditable tool for the classification of potentially hazardous waste materials, including contaminated soils, filter cakes, sludge residues, ashes trommel fines and wastes products.
Training
Hazardous Waste Classification Courses
Whether you are new to waste classification, have moderate experience or have been crunching data for years, our training courses will help you learn the latest ins and outs.
Day 1 – Basic Waste Classification
Regulations and guidance to follow, classification fundamentals and application in HazWasteOnline™.
Day 2 – Advanced Waste Classification
Builds on Day 1: laboratory suites, technical scenarios, hydrocarbon assessments, metal species selection and more.
3 Year Refresher Course
On-line quiz to assess your knowledge; review of changes to the regulations, software and industry developments and an exclusive workshop.
New – Sampling and Statistics Course
Application of statistics to the analyse of chemistry data. Due Spring 2026.
Consultancy – Waste Classification
Whilst we provide unlimited telephone and email based support to our stakeholders, there are times when we don’t know the answer and have to do some homework. As an example, we often have to compile the hazard statements for a substance that is not published in the CLP Regulation.
We also use our expertise at a project scale, to assess whole waste streams so as to determine whether a waste has any hazardous properties. Typically the wastes we are asked to look at are industrial wastes, such as filter cakes, ashes, trommel fines and different fractions from metal and plastics recycling.
A project typically starts with a desk study, then the design of both the sampling plan and the testing suite. This is following by the sampling and laboratory analysis phase, then data assessment, statistical analysis and the waste classification. Some of our projects require discussions with an environment agency and appeals to government.
Research
We also undertake our own in-house research projects which provide better tools for waste classifiers, improves the deliverables from the laboratories and help increase understanding and knowledge.
Earlier projects included working with laboratories to better define the moisture corrections in their reports or another looked at mitigating high pH outcomes in soils, caused by the presence of concrete fragments.
Currently we are working on the following projects:
- Working with UK and Irish soil laboratories to better understand both their preparation and analysis methods and hence what exactly is being measured and reported. This feeds into better guidance for stakeholders assessing their laboratory data.
- Development of AI analysis tools to better analyse chemistry test results and support stakeholders.
- Research at the UK’s national synchrotron science facility in Oxfordshire into the speciation of copper and zinc compounds found in waste plastics.
