    Non-dispersible ceramic waste

Use B2030 for non-dispersible ceramic waste as a Basel List B waste without an Annex III hazard.

Basel List B code for non-dispersible ceramic waste, such as cermet (metal ceramic composites) and ceramic fibres.

Is Basel B2030 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Basel B2030 is on Basel List B, so material that matches it is normally outside the Convention's hazardous definition. That changes if Annex I constituents give it an Annex III hazardous characteristic. SOR/2021-25, including its exclusions, decides Canadian federal control.

On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste line of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions still apply.

What does Basel B2030 cover?

Covers non-dispersible cermet scrap and waste, meaning metal-ceramic composites, and ceramic-based fibres not specified or included elsewhere. List B status holds only while the waste has no Annex III hazardous characteristic.
