Several EWC codes and transport classifications fall within this fraction. Determine the correct classification for your waste using the safety data sheet or contact SAR for advice.
When shipping liquid paint, packaging must not be filled beyond 90%, to allow room for expansion. Using lids with pressure relief valves is also recommended to release pressure arising during storage and transport.
When collecting liquid hazardous waste delivered in jerrycans, cans or similar containers, UN-approved drums, rigid cut-down IBCs or large packaging must be used as outer packaging. Residues of adhesives, paint, resin solutions or similar substances in packaging of up to 10 litres may be transported on pallets with collars, provided they are also adequately secured against leakage.
Paint waste is used for energy recovery, while metal and plastic packaging are recycled as material.
Toner cartridges without circuit boards and ink cartridges containing hazardous substances must be delivered in separate packaging. If a data sheet is available, it must be attached to the declaration.
Completely empty paint cans/cans with only a dry, thin paint film can be sorted as metal or plastic, respectively. If the paint can is labelled toxic, it must always be sent as 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.
