[[Hazardous Waste]] is defined within Art 3(2) of the [[Waste Framework Directive]] ([[WFD]]) as waste which displays one or more of the hazardous properties listed in Annex III (of the [[WFD]]).

[[Hazardous Waste]] is defined within Art 3(2) of the [[Waste Framework Directive]] ([[WFD]]) as waste which displays one or more of the hazardous properties listed in Annex III (of the [[WFD]]). The macro [[Hazardous Waste]] tonnage reported by [[DEFRA]] for 2020 showed waste arisings of 5,400,255 tonnes.

==~~Waste Listing~~==

==Overview==

Hazardous Waste is waste ~~that appears~~ in the [[~~List of~~ Waste (~~England) Regulations 2005~~]]~~, as amended,~~ as a six-digit ~~[[EWC]]~~ code with an asterisk e.g.~~16 06~~ 01*. Wastes are generally hazardous if they contain or exhibit properties which are hazardous to human health or the environment e.g. toxic, corrosive, mutagenic etc ([[Hazardous Properties]]).

[[Hazardous Waste]] is defined within Art 3(2) of the [[Waste Framework Directive]] ([[WFD]]) as waste which displays one or more of the hazardous properties listed in Annex III (of the [[WFD]]). [[Hazardous Waste]] is listed in the [[European Waste Catalogue]] ([[EWC]]) as a six digit code with an asterisk (*) e.g. 07 04 01*. Wastes are generally hazardous if they contain or exhibit properties which are hazardous to human health or the environment e.g. toxic, corrosive, mutagenic etc ([[Hazardous Properties]]).

Examples of [[Hazardous Waste|hazardous waste]] as listed in the [[EWC]] are outlined in the table below (with the 2-digit code being the Chapter Title and the 4-digit code being the process giving rise to the [[waste]]):

When considering [[Hazardous Waste|hazardous waste]] for 2020, 85% of hazardous waste was grouped into the following [[STAT]] groupings:

*Batteries and Accumulators 21%

*Discarded Vehicles 20%

*Chemical Wastes 17%

*Discarded Equipment 8%

*Soils 8%

*Used Oils 6%

*Mineral Waste from Construction and Demolition 5%

==Treatment==

Hazardous Waste requires specialist handling and treatment as defined within the [[Waste Framework Directive]] (2008/98/EC) and is regulated by the [[Hazardous Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2005]] in England and Wales and by [[The Special Waste Regulations 1996]] and [[The Special Waste Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2004]] in Scotland. The same macro level data reported in ~~July~~ 2020 showed the final treatment tonnage of 2.1 million tonnes was via the following destinations:

The same macro level data reported in 2020 showed the final treatment tonnage of 2.9 million tonnes was via the following destinations:

==Historical Levels of Incinceration==

The historical picture for '''hazardous waste incineration''' (all [[EWC]] codes as hazardous, excluding those [[EWCChap18|EWC chapter 18 codes]] that are hazardous and included in the analysis on [[Healthcare Waste]]) is shown in the figure below '''for England only''', with a significant proportion exported to [[R1]] incineration and sent to the four High Temperature Incinerators (HTIs). This figure excludes hazardous waste to [[Cement Kilns]].

A listing of Hazardous Waste Incinerators is set out on the page [[High Temperature and Clinical Waste Incineration]]
