If you’ve ever managed waste profiles, you know it’s not a quick process. Between gathering waste characterization data, identifying disposal options, preparing supporting documentation, and waiting for approvals, profiling can take hours per profile, and sometimes days or weeks for approval. Multiply that across multiple waste streams, and profiling becomes one of the most time-consuming parts of waste management.
It’s not just tedious, it’s a bottleneck. Every hour spent manually filling out forms or chasing approval delays impacts compliance, slows operations, and costs money.
Profiling waste is complex by nature.
Data Collection: You need accurate waste codes, chemical data, and generation details.
Routing Decisions: Each waste type must be reviewed for compatible treatment and disposal facilities.
Review and Approval: Facilities must validate the data and confirm compliance before accepting the waste.
Even for experienced professionals, manual profiling involves endless copy-and-paste work, double-checking codes, and waiting for feedback.
WasteLinq’s Profile Assist changes the game. Powered by AI, Profile Assist automates key steps of the profiling process from data entry to characterization, helping users complete profiles faster and more accurately.
Here’s how:
Automated Data Extraction: Upload a lab report, SDS, or prior profile and let AI pull key details automatically.
Predictive Recommendations: Profile Assist identifies likely waste codes and properties based on previous submissions and regulatory data.
Fewer Errors, Faster Approvals: Because data is more consistent and accurate, profiles are approved faster and with fewer revisions.
Early users are seeing up to 70% reductions in the time it takes to complete and approve waste profiles. That means more waste moved, fewer administrative delays, and faster revenue cycles.
Profile Assist is part of WasteLinq’s AI Assistant approach. A connected system designed to simplify waste profiling, connect data across work streams, and make the approval process transparent for everyone involved.
