EWC code lookup
Find the correct six-digit European Waste Catalogue (EWC) code for your waste by searching waste type, industry or code number. Use the copy button if you need a code for reference - LoadLog users don't need to copy anything across, because this lookup is built into every Waste Transfer Note.
In a hurry? Jump straight to the most-used codes: 17 09 04, 19 12 12, 17 01 01, 20 03 01, 15 01 06 and 17 05 04, or browse the full EWC code library.
Tip: if you're a LoadLog user, you'll never need to copy from here - the app looks up and validates EWC codes automatically. The Copy button is a convenience for anyone recording a code elsewhere.
Browse by chapter
The European Waste Catalogue has 20 chapters, each covering a different waste source or industry.
