What is EWC code 15 02 02?
15 02 02 is the European Waste Catalogue (List of Waste) code for absorbents, filter materials (including oil filters not otherwise specified), wiping cloths, protective clothing contaminated by hazardous substances. It sits in chapter 15 (waste packaging; absorbents, wiping cloths, filter materials and protective clothing not otherwise specified). You use this six-digit code to classify the waste on a waste transfer note, a hazardous waste consignment note, or a Digital Waste Tracking record.
This is a hazardous waste code. Movements of hazardous waste need a hazardous waste consignment note (not an ordinary waste transfer note), and consignment notes must be kept for at least 3 years.
