The EWC is a list of waste types, established by the European Commission Decision 2000/532/EC1, which categorises wastes based on a combination of what they are, and the process or activity that produces them. It provides a standard framework for the comparison of waste data (statistics) across all member states. The EWC is used in several reports including quarterly/annual waste data returns to [[SEPA]], the [[EA]] and [[NIEA]] waste transfer notes and [[Hazardous Waste]] consignment notes <ref name="foo">Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) (2015).

The [[European Waste Catalogue]] ([[EWC]]) is a list of waste types, established by the European Commission Decision 2000/532/EC1, which categorises wastes based on a combination of what they are, and the process or activity that produces them. It provides a standard framework for the comparison of waste data (statistics) across all member states. The EWC is used in several reports including quarterly/annual waste data returns to [[SEPA]], the [[EA]] and [[NIEA]] waste transfer notes and [[Hazardous Waste]] consignment notes <ref name="foo">Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) (2015). [https://www.sepa.org.uk/media/163421/ewc_guidance.pdf Guidance on using the European Waste Catalogue (EWC) to code waste.]</ref>.


The EWC is divided into 20 chapters, most of which are industry-based, although some are based on materials and processes.  Individual waste types are assigned a six-digit code: the first two digits specify the chapter, the next two specify the subchapter, and the last two are specific to the waste type. [[Hazardous Waste]] is signified by entries where the six-digit EWC code is marked by an asterisk (*)<ref name="foo" />.
The EWC is divided into 20 chapters, most of which are industry-based, although some are based on materials and processes.  '''Individual waste types are assigned a six-digit code''' so as an example:
 
 
*'''10 02 13*'''
 
 
* the first two digits specify the chapter (i.e. '''10''' ''waste from thermal processes'')
* the next two specify the subchapter (i.e '''02''' ''wastes from the iron and steel industry'') and  
* the last two are specific to the waste type (i.e.'''13''' ''sludges and filter cakes from gas treatment containing hazardous substances'') and finally
* [[Hazardous Waste]] is signified by entries where the six-digit EWC code is marked by an asterisk ('''*''')<ref name="foo" /> on the last two digits.
 
[[STAT]] codes and [[SOC]] codes are used for reporting consolidated EWC codes, grouping similar codes from different origins/processing activity into a single category such as Chemical Waste or Industrial Effluents and Sludges.
 
The following table lists the headline chapters, each chapter then has a page which further details the subchapter and waste type relevant to the chapter.
