[[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]]). The macro [[Hazardous Waste]] tonnage reported by [[DEFRA]] for 2020 showed waste arisings of 5,400,255 tonnes.

==Macro Tonnage==

The macro-level data reported for 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 5.4 million tonnes of [[Hazardous Waste]] arising in the UK:

[[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*. 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]]).

Examples of [[Hazardous Waste|hazardous waste]] as ~~shown~~ in the ~~[[European Waste Catalogue]] (~~[[EWC]]~~) Code~~ are outlined in the ~~tables~~ below (with the 2-digit code being the Chapter Title and the 4-digit code being the process giving rise to the [[waste]]):

~~==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:
