Is OECD AD150 hazardous waste?

For controlled OECD recovery movements. OECD AD150 is an OECD amber-list waste for recovery movements. The code describes the material. SOR/2021-25 and the countries' rules decide whether the Canadian movement is regulated.

On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions say when that applies.

What does OECD AD150 cover?

The amber code covers naturally occurring organic material discarded after use as filtration media, biofilter material included. SOR/2021-25 decides Canadian controls on a recovery movement, not the amber code alone.
