The List of Waste (England) Regulations 2005, S.I. No. 895 as amended, (LoW) originally transposed the Council Decision on the list of wastes and list of Hazardous Waste, otherwise known as the European Waste Catalogue (EWC) into England.
These Regulations and all subsequent amending regulations have now been revoked. Information on all EWC codes in the UK is now being signposted to the EU List of Wastes from EU Decision 2000/532/EC[1] [2]
The European Waste Catalogue is made up of approximately 650 different codes divided into 20 chapters, each of which contains a number of sub-categories (further detail and a listing of all EWC codes are available in WikiWaste on https://wikiwaste.org.uk/European_Waste_Catalogue). Wastes that are considered to be hazardous are denoted by an asterisk in the list. Each code is six digits and many codes are double entries where there will be a code for the non-hazardous version of the waste and another – with asterisk – for the hazardous version. There are also codes that end in 99 which are used for ‘waste not otherwise specified’. Generally, the Environment Agency does not like these to be used as a waste description on a Waste Transfer Note or Consignment Note[3][4].
