E154, Styrene.

  • Federal E codes

    Styrene

Use E154 when styrene is present at >= 100.0 mg/kg by mass.

Waste holding styrene at 100 mg/kg or more by mass. It is the building block of polystyrene & fibreglass resin.

Is Federal E154 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal E154 is the federal listing for styrene. 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 E154 cover?

E154 covers styrene. Use it when styrene 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.
