Codes¶
Waste management regulations rely on a structured framework to ensure the safe handling and disposal of various waste streams, and it requires waste producers to be able to accurately identify waste and its disposal routes using this framework.
Searching for a Code¶
The Waste Thesaurus can be used to search for EWC codes, RD codes, and HP codes, by using the main search bar in conjunction with the dropdown. This can be done by keyword, e.g. waste type or disposal route.
Browsing Codes¶
In addition to searching for a specific code, the Waste Thesaurus can also be used to browse codes by clicking on the relevant button below the search bar. Doing so will display different dropdowns that can be used to look through different code options.
