  1. Dr. Joachim Wuttke Waste Definition, Waste Classification UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  2. Outlook • waste definition • hazardous waste definition • waste – non-waste • waste classification • exercise on waste definition and waste classification UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  3. waste product disposal recycling green list not listed amber list red list Art. 11 document notification procedure waste definition and classification UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  4. waste definition • Basel Convention Article 2 - Definitions For the purposes of this Convention: 1."Wastes" are substances or objects which are disposed of or are intended to be disposed of or are required to be disposed of by the provisions of national law; UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  5. waste definition • Waste Framework Directive (75/442/EEC) Article 1 For the purposes of this Directive: (a) ‘waste’ shall mean any substance or object in the categories set out in Annex I which the holder discards or intends or is required to discard. UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  6. waste definition • Annex I of Waste Framework Directive Q1 Production or consumption residues not otherwise specified below Q6 Unusable parts (e.g. reject batteries, exhausted catalysts, etc.) Q8 Residues of industrial processes (e.g. slags, still bottoms, etc.) Q16 Any materials, substances or products which are not contained in the above categories UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  7. waste definition • German Waste Act Article 3 - Definition of Terms (1) According to this Act, "waste" means all movable pro­ perty that falls within one of the categories listed in Annex 1 and which the owner disposes of, intends to dispose of or is required to dispose of. "Waste for recovery" is waste that is recovered; waste that is not recoverable is "waste for dis­ posal". (2) Disposal as referred to in Para 1 occurs when the owner presents movable property for recovery within the meaning of Annex IIB, or for disposal within the meaning of Annex IIA, or when the owner gives up actual physical ownership over the property and any further purpose for it ceases to exist. UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  8. hazardous waste definition • Basel Convention Article 1 - Scope of the Convention 1. The following wastes that are subject to transboundary movement shall be "hazardous wastes" for the purposes of this Convention: (a) Wastes that belong to any category contained in Annex I, unless they do not possess any of the charac-teristics contained in Annex III; and (b) Wastes that are not covered under paragraph (a) but are defined as, or are considered to be, hazardous wastes by the domestic legislation of the Party of export, import or transit. 2.Wastes that belong to any category contained in Annex II that are subject to transboundary movement shall be "other wastes" for the purposes of this Convention. UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  9. waste / non-waste 1/6 • A waste ceases to be a waste when (a) it requires no further processing by a recovery operation; AND (b) the recovered material can and will be used in the same way as a material which has not been defined as waste; AND (c) the recovered material meets all relevant health and environmental requirements Source:FINAL GUIDANCE DOCUMENT FOR DISTINGUISHING WASTE FROM NON-WASTE OECD Document ENV/EPOC/WMP(98)1/REV1) UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  10. waste / non-waste 2/6 • Criteria • Is the material produced intentionally? • Is the material made in response to market demand? • Is the production of the material subject to quality control? • Does the material meet well deve-loped nationally and internationally recognised specifications/standards? UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  11. waste / non-waste 3/6 • Criteria • Do these standards include environ-mental considerations, in addition to technical or economic considerations? • Is the material still suitable for its originally intended purpose? • Can the material be used for another purpose as a substitute material? • Is this processing limited to minor repair? UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  12. waste / non-waste 4/6 • Criteria • Will the material actually be used in a production process? • Does the material have an identified use? • Can the material be used in its present form or in the same way as a raw material without being subjected to a recovery operation? UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  13. waste / non-waste 5/6 • Criteria • Can the material be used only after it has been subjected to a recovery operation? • Is the use of the material as environ-mentally sound as that of a primary product? • Does the use of the material in a pro-duction process cause any increased risks to human health or the environ-ment greater than the use of the corresponding raw material? UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  14. waste / non-waste 6/6 • Criteria • Is the overall economic value of the material negative? • Is the material no longer part of the normal commercial cycle or chain of utility? • Is further processing required before the material can be directly used in a manufacturing/commercial applica-tion? UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  15. waste / non-waste – end of life goods Is the good used forits originally intended purpose? Can the good be used directly without any further treatment for another purpose as a substitute material? non-waste Is repair necessary before the good is used for its originally intended purpose? Is the good brought back the holder? UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  16. waste / non-waste – end of life goods Is minor repair necessary? case by case decision Is major repair necessary? waste case by case decision UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  17. Waste Classification UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  18. Development of Waste Legislation 1/3 • national regulations (i.e. German Waste Disposal Act of 1972) • waste definition • framework for waste disposal • OECD-Decision C(88)90 Final • core list of waste (Y-List), disposal (D) and recovery (R) operations • reasons why a material is controlled (Q-List) • generic types of potential hazardous wastes (1994 harmonised with BC) • hazardous characteristics (H-Criteria), consti-tuents of potential hazardous wastes (C-List) UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  19. Development of Waste Legislation 2/3 • EU Waste Framework Directive (75/442/EEC) as amended • Q-List, R and D operations, • EU Hazardous Waste Directive (91/689/EEC) • generic types, C-List, slightly different H-criteria based on chemical legislation UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  20. Development of Waste Legislation 3/3 • Basel Convention • Y-List of C(88)90 as Annex I • H-Criteria of C(88)90 as Annex III with reference to UN-RTDG • R and D operations of C(88)90 as Annex IV • Waste Lists of Annex VIII and Annex IX (developed based on OECD Waste Lists of C(92/39)  new OECD Waste Lists of OECD Decision C(2001)107 developed based on Annex VIII and Annex IX of BC and the former Green, Amber and Red Lists of C(92/39) UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  23. Waste List Comparison UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  24. European Waste List (EWL) • 839 Waste codes • 405 hazardous wastes • 170 mirror entries basic: intrinsic properties (H1 – H14) Limit values based on classification of hazardous goods UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  25. European Waste List (EWL) • General definition • dangerous substance • dynamic reference to list of hazardous goods • heavy metal UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  26. European Waste List (EWL) • Step-In / Step-Out clause • step-out • in exceptional cases • proven by notifier • decided by competent authorities • step-in • waste exhibits a hazardous criteria • decision by a member state • has to be notified to COM • checked by COM whether amendments of EWL is necessary UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  27. European Waste List (EWL) • How to deal with mirror entries? • find the appropriate mirror entry • check if sufficient scientific knowledge is available (hazardous goods classification, production process ….) if no result: • check analytics available worst case: • full analytics UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen

  28. European Waste List (EWL) • Use of list • first check chapter 1 – 12, 17 – 20 • secondly check chapter 13 – 15 • thirdly check chapter 16 • lastly use codes ending with XX YY 99 UmweltbundesamtAnlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen
