What is EWC code 18 01 04?

18 01 04 is the European Waste Catalogue (List of Waste) code for wastes whose collection and disposal is not subject to special requirements in order to prevent infection (for example dressings, plaster casts, linen, disposable clothing, diapers). It sits in chapter 18 (wastes from human or animal health care and/or related research (except kitchen and restaurant wastes not arising from immediate health care)). 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 non-hazardous waste code. Transfers need a waste transfer note, which both parties must keep for at least 2 years.
