What is EWC code 20 01 21?
20 01 21 is the European Waste Catalogue (List of Waste) code for fluorescent tubes and other mercury-containing waste. It sits in chapter 20 (municipal wastes (household waste and similar commercial, industrial and institutional wastes) including separately collected fractions). 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.
