*Several waste types fall within the inorganic acids fraction. Determine the correct classification for your waste using the safety data sheet or contact SAR for advice.
Inorganic acids must be sent in approved packaging. Plastic packaging should be used due to corrosive properties in contact with various metals, glass and other materials.
Neutralised at an approved plant and landfilled.
The waste must be delivered in UN-approved packaging. If a data sheet is available, it must be attached to the declaration.
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.
