    Tellurium and its compounds

Use Y28 for tellurium and its compounds as a Basel waste stream or constituent.

Basel Y waste stream for tellurium & all tellurium compounds, found in solar panels, alloys & electronics.

Is Basel Y28 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Basel Y28 names a waste stream or constituent used in the IWIC. The code describes the material. Its hazards, the other classification parts and the definitions and exclusions in SOR/2021-25 decide federal status in Canada.

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 still apply.

What does Basel Y28 cover?

It covers elemental tellurium and compounds containing tellurium. Its movement status in Canada needs a separate assessment under SOR/2021-25, including the destination and the intended operation.
