List of waste regulations 2005 SI 895
These regulations are based upon the European Waste Catalogue (EWC) system for classifying wastes according to a comprehensive list which allocates 6 digit codes, plus asterisks, to wastes streams within a set of 20 chapter headings. These reflect the typical activities and sources that generate wastes, with special categories for wastes not otherwise captured by the scheme.
Where a waste is asterisked, it must be handled as hazardous regardless of its actual characteristics – such codes are known as absolute entries and waste oil falls into this category.
