ComplyOnSiteIs Basel B3090 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. Basel B3090 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 B3090 cover?
Covers parings and other leather or composition-leather residue that is unsuitable for making leather articles. Leather sludge is excluded. Hexavalent chromium compounds and biocides must be absent. Compare A3100.
