Listed withBasel List B codes

Waste from pre-treating composite liquid packaging, such as drink cartons. Non-hazardous plastic & plastic-aluminum fractions.

Is Basel B3026 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Basel B3026 is on Basel List B, so material matching it is normally not hazardous under the Convention. It becomes hazardous if Annex I constituents give it an Annex III hazardous characteristic. SOR/2021-25 and its exclusions decide Canadian federal control.

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 apply.

What does Basel B3026 cover?

Covers the plastic fraction, and the plastic-and-aluminum fraction, left when composite liquid packaging is pre-treated. The fractions must be non-separable, and any Annex I material must stay below the level that would cause an Annex III characteristic.
