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]]). [[Hazardous Waste]] is listed in the [[European Waste Catalogue]] ([[EWC]]) as a six digit code with an asterisk (*) e.g. 07 04 01*.

~~Furthermore~~, 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 requires specialist handling and treatment as defined within the [[Waste Framework Directive]] (2008/98/EC) and the ~~transposed~~ Waste (England and Wales) Regulations ~~2012, as amended~~.

==Overview==

[[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*.

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 the diagram below of [[Hazardous Waste|hazardous waste]] waste arisings of 4.6 million tonnes in 2018, 80% of hazardous waste was grouped into the following [[STAT]] groupings:

*Discarded Vehicles 23%

*Chemical Wastes 21%

*Discarded Equipment 10%

*Mineral Waste from Construction and Demolition 10%

*Used Oils 8%

*Soils 8%

==Hazardous Waste Arisings==

The macro-level data reported in July 2020 by [[DEFRA]]<ref>[https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/uk-waste-data UK Statistics on Waste July 2020 update]</ref> for tonnage arisings is summarised in the figure below, with a total of 4.6 million tonnes of [[Hazardous Waste]] arising in the UK in 2018:

==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:
