Draft Guidance on the Interpretation and Application of List of Waste Entries and Sub-Entries, December 2023

Year: 2023

Representatives from the Local Government Sector and the EPA have prepared Draft Guidance on the Interpretation and Application of List of Waste Entries and Sub-Entries. The aim of the guidance is to assist stakeholders to improve the consistency of data reporting at a local, Regional, National and European level. The document provides guidance on LoW chapters and sub-chapters that contain LoW entries where it has been identified that challenges exist. This includes all sub-chapters where sub-entries have been created. The draft guidance currently focuses on LoW entries under Chapters 2, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19 and 20. It provides clarity on waste types that should be classified under relevant LoW entries and sub-entries listed therein.
