- Entry Type
- Absolute hazardous
- What does this mean in practice?
- This is the official classification for metallic packaging containing a hazardous solid porous matrix (for example asbestos), including empty pressure containers. Because this is a hazardous waste (indicated by the asterisk in the official catalogue), it requires specialised handling, consignment notes, and cannot be mixed with general waste.
