The waste can be sent in containers. Avoid breaking up the insulation, as this may release gas trapped in its pores.
Insulation containing environmentally harmful blowing agents is used for energy recovery.
Must be packed in transparent plastic bags if there is a risk of dust generation.
If a data sheet is available, it must be attached to the declaration.
Contact SAR to assess whether the waste should be classified as hazardous in relation to threshold values. The challenge is that gases leak out of the material, but sufficient blowing gas may remain for it to be environmentally hazardous waste.
The waste guide uses technical terms and codes to describe how different types of waste should be identified, classified, and handled. This makes it easier to find the correct waste fraction and comply with requirements for sorting, packaging, and delivery.
