What does this mean in practice?
This is the official classification for construction and demolition wastes containing pcb (for example pcb-containing sealants, pcb-containing resin-based floorings, pcb-containing sealed glazing units, pcb-containing capacitors). 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.
