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).
