EWC Code List

The European Waste Catalogue (EWC) is a classification system that categorizes waste based on its origin and production process. These EWC codes must be used when filling out duty of care waste transfer notes and hazardous waste consignment note documentation in compliance with current legislative requirements.

Source of the EWC Codes comes from the Environment Agency document “Technical Guidance WM3”
