What is EWC code 20 02 01?
20 02 01 is the European Waste Catalogue (List of Waste) code for biodegradable 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 non-hazardous waste code. Transfers need a waste transfer note, which both parties must keep for at least 2 years.
