    Sodium methylate

Use E149 when sodium methylate is present at >= 100.0 mg/kg by mass.

Waste holding sodium methylate at 100 mg/kg or more by mass. It is caustic, flammable and used to make biodiesel.

Is Federal E149 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal E149 is the federal listing for sodium methylate. The source, composition, concentration or test condition must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

For federally regulated international shipments, the applicant records the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions still apply.

What does Federal E149 cover?

E149 covers sodium methylate. Use it when sodium methylate is present at 100.0 mg/kg or more by mass. Match the material, its source and any stated condition, because the name alone doesn't make it a listed waste.
