EU: Technical guidance on classification of waste published

On 9 April 2018 the European Commission published a Notice on the classification of waste. The purpose of this Notice is to give technical guidance on certain aspects of Directive 2008/98/EC on waste (Waste Framework Directive) and Commission Decision 2000/532/EC on the list of waste, as revised in 2014 and 2017.
The Notice is structured in 3 chapters: Chapter 1 provides an overall background to waste classification and instructions on how to read the guidance. In Chapter 2, the relevant parts of EU waste legislation are briefly presented and their relevance for the definition and classification of (hazardous) waste is given. Chapter 3 presents the general steps of waste classification.
