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These Regulations and all subsequent amending regulations have now been revoked.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<ref>[https://cedrec.com/r/in-focus/0715-list-of-wastes-replaced/ CEDREC]</ref> <ref>[https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32000D0532&from=EN Link to signpost of EU List of Wastes]</ref> | |||
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]]<ref>WasteCare, 2019.
