EWC code & hazardous waste

All waste produced will have a corresponding European Waste Code (EWC). You can find these codes in the European Waste Catalogue. The EWC code itself consists of six digits, whereas an Asterisk next to the code denotes that the waste is considered as hazardous. At that moment it is mandatory to initiate a notification process via the government (EU regulation No. 259/93 and No. 1013/2006)

Transport

If you want to export or import hazardous waste through an EU member state you must observe the European Waste Shipment Regulation (EWSR, or in Dutch EVOA). Before you transport hazardous waste across the border you must conclude a contract with the recipient of the waste. You also need permission from the transit countries.
