WM3 Hazardous Waste Classification

The Environment Agency has now published it's WM3 Guidelines for Classification of Hazardous Wastes. Although this revised guidance does not have a significant impact on classification of Empty, Uncleaned Packaging (as per agreed definitions within WM2) it does clarify the classification of what is Hazardous.
The requirement for Empty, Uncleaned packaging with hazardous residues to be consigned under EWC 15-01-10*  remains unchanged - although consideration should be given to the intended handling and use of used packaging, as certain forms of reuse do not fall within the waste classification.
