[[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*.~~

[[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==~~

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]]).

==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:
