RD Codes¶
What is an RD code?¶
Recovery and Disposal Codes (RD codes) play a crucial role in categorising the methods by which waste is managed, whether through recovery or disposal processes. These codes serve as a standardised system to ensure proper handling and treatment of waste materials. Specifically, they aid in classifying whether waste is to be recovered for further use or disposed of in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. Compliance with RD codes is essential for waste management facilities to adhere to regulatory requirements and ensure the efficient and sustainable handling of waste streams across the UK. There are 28 total RD codes.
