Use K020 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.
ComplyOnSiteIs Federal K020 hazardous waste?
Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K020 is the federal listing for vinyl chloride distillation high-boiling residue. The source, composition, concentration or test condition must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.
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 Federal K020 cover?
High-boiling residue generated by the distillation of vinyl chloride in vinyl chloride monomer production. Both the waste form and its named generating step must match. A similar material from another operation isn't K020.
- Official wording
- Heavy ends from the distillation of vinyl chloride in vinyl chloride monomer production.

Is vinyl chloride distillation high-boiling residue always Federal K020?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| K020 | The waste is vinyl chloride distillation high-boiling residue from the named Schedule 12 process. |
Decide between these entries from the material's real origin, use, composition and test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make the codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still govern.
