Aerosol cans are collected and sent in packages such as drums and cut-down IBCs. The waste has no packing group because the aerosol can itself is approved packaging.
The metal packaging of aerosol cans is recycled as material, and the remainder is used for energy recovery.
All types of aerosol cans must be delivered as hazardous waste.
If a data sheet is available, it must be attached to the declaration.
Aerosol cans containing polyurethane must be delivered as waste containing isocyanates (7121).
Aerosol cans containing pesticides, such as plant protection products and insect sprays, must be classified as pesticides (7111).
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.
