2.1 Collection and transport of hazardous waste (pollution prevention and control)

Kurzbeschreibung

Separate collection and transport of hazardous waste (39) prior to treatment, material recovery or disposal, including the construction, operation and upgrade of facilities involved in the collection and transport of such waste, such as hazardous waste transfer stations, as a means for appropriate treatment. The economic activities in this category could be associated with several NACE codes, in particular E38.12 and F42.9 in accordance with the statistical classification of economic activities established by Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006.

Technische Bewertungskriterien

Technical screening criteria Substantial contribution to pollution prevention and control 1. Hazardous waste is source segregated and collected separately from non-hazardous waste to prevent cross- contamination. Appropriate measures are taken to ensure that during separate collection and transport, hazardous waste is not mixed nor diluted either with other categories of hazardous waste or with other waste, substances or materials. 2. Proper collection and handling prevent leakage of hazardous waste during collection, transport, storage and delivery to the treatment facility, which is permitted to treat hazardous waste, according to national legislation. 3. Where a given waste classified as hazardous has also a transport status of dangerous goods under the Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) (40), the transport complies with the relevant requirements set by the ADR. (39) Hazardous waste is waste which displays one or more of the hazardous properties listed in Annex III of Directive 2008/98/EC. It includes streams such as hazardous waste fractions produced by households, waste oils, batteries, non-depolluted waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), non-depolluted end-of-life vehicle, certain healthcare waste, such as infectious and cytotoxic waste, etc. A comprehensive classification of hazardous waste can be found in the European List of Waste (established by Commission Decision 2000/532/EC).

OJ L, 21.11.2023 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_del/2023/2486/oj 100/164 4. The activity uses waste collection vehicles which conform to at least Euro V standards (41). 5. During collection and transport, hazardous waste is packaged and labelled in accordance with the international and Union standards in force. 6. The operator collecting hazardous waste complies with record-keeping obligations including as regards quantity, nature, origin, destination, frequency of collection, mode of transport and treatment method set out by applicable Union and national legislation. 7. For waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE): (a) the main categories of WEEE set out in Annex III to Directive 2012/19/EU are collected separately; (b) collection and transport preserve the integrity of WEEE and prevent the leakage of hazardous substances such as ozone-depleting substances, fluorinated greenhouse gases or mercury contained in fluorescent lamps; (c) a management system is set up by the collection and logistics operator to manage environmental, health and safety risks. Compliance with normative requirements for collection and logistics set in CLC/EN 50625-1:2014 (42)and CLC/TS 50625-4:2017 (43) or with regulatory requirements that are equivalent to those set in CLC/EN 50625-1 and CLC/TS 50625-4 is a proof of compliance with the requirement that the collection and transport preserve the integrity of WEEE and batteries and prevents the leakage of hazardous substances. 8. When the waste is stored, the activity complies with the requirements set out in BAT 4 of the best available techniques (BAT) conclusions for waste treatment (44). Do no significant harm (‘DNSH’) (1) Climate change mitigation N/A (2) Climate change adaptation The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix A to this Annex. (3) Sustainable use and protec­ tion of water and marine resources The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix B to this Annex. (4) Transition to a circular economy Separately collected waste is not mixed in waste storage and transfer facilities with other waste or materials with different properties. Recyclable (45) waste is not disposed of, incinerated or co-incinerated. (6) Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosys­ tems The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix D to this Annex. (41) In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/858.
