European Waste Catalogue (EWC) Codes
EWC codes are used to identify and classify waste based on its source and composition. Correctly assigning an EWC code is a legal requirement and forms the foundation of compliant waste handling, transport, and disposal.
Use our EWC look-up tool to quickly find the appropriate code for your waste stream and ensure it is managed in line with current regulations.
Hazardous Classification Codes
Some wastes require further assessment to determine whether they are hazardous. Hazardous classification codes identify specific risks to human health and the environment and dictate how waste must be stored, transported, and treated.
Explore our hazardous classification guidance to understand hazard properties, classification criteria, and your responsibilities when managing hazardous waste.
