Waste guide

EWC code finder: the List of Wastes codes explained

EWC codes, also called List of Wastes codes, are six digits long. The first two digits name the chapter the waste comes from, the next two the sub-chapter, and the last two the individual entry. An asterisk (*) means the waste is hazardous. (GOV.UK: WM3)

This guide is not legal advice. Picking the right code has rules of its own, which WM3 sets out.

How a code is built

The List of Wastes is divided into 20 chapters, numbered 01 to 20. Some chapters are based on the industry process or business activity that produced the waste, others on the type of waste. Most chapters contain sub-chapters, and within each sub-chapter are the six-digit codes for individual wastes, such as 20 01 01 paper and cardboard. (GOV.UK: WM3)

WM3 says the list is not a look-up list: to identify the appropriate code you must consider the entire list and use the chapters in the order of precedence it gives. (GOV.UK: WM3)

What the asterisk (*) means

The regulations say the List of Wastes is the list established by Commission Decision 2000/532/EC, as amended, and that a waste is listed as a hazardous waste where it is listed as such in that list — the starred entries. (regulation 4) WM3 puts it plainly: the six-digit codes that are hazardous wastes have an asterisk (*) next to them. (GOV.UK: WM3)

WM3 also explains that some wastes come in mirror pairs: a hazardous entry with an asterisk and a non-hazardous entry without one, and the waste is assessed to decide which applies. (GOV.UK: WM3)
