Is Federal E178 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal E178 is the listing for zinc sulphate. The source, composition, concentration or test result must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

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

What does Federal E178 cover?

E178 covers zinc sulphate at 100.0 mg/kg or more by mass. The material, source and any stated composition, concentration, test or use condition must match too. The name alone doesn't make it E178.
