Hazmat Shipping Papers — Proven Compliance for Road Transport

Go paperless. Keep first responders safe. Stay DOT-audit ready.

EnviroApps is ready to deliver USA's first proven electronic Hazmat shipping papers solution for road transportation—designed with shippers, carriers, and receivers in mind, and matured through Transport Canada's Regulatory Sandbox Project.

Why EnviroApps for Hazmat e-Shipping Papers?

First proven e-Shipping documents solution for road in North America. EnviroApps is North America's first proven electronic dangerous goods/hazmat shipping document platform, validated through real-world pilots and Transport Canada audits.

Built on Transport Canada's Regulatory Sandbox learnings. The Sandbox demonstrated that shipping documents improve safety and response (first responders can access information without approaching hazards), enable faster, more accurate information sharing, and significantly cut paper and ink (21M sheets saved across 7 pilot companies). EnviroApps operationalizes these benefits in production.

Context: Under current Federal Hazardous Materials Regulations, shipping documents must be on paper unless a Special Permit has been obtained from PHMSA allowing electronic documents — precisely the regulatory path EnviroApps is planning to pursue for its customers.
