Is 08 01 15* hazardous?
Yes, unless an assessment shows it isn’t. 08 01 15* has an asterisk, and WM3 lists it as mirror hazardous: the hazardous side of a choice between codes, decided by assessing the waste under WM3.
If it isn’t hazardous: 08 01 16. If you can’t find out what’s in it, it stays 08 01 15*.
As hazardous waste it moves on a hazardous waste consignment note, not a waste transfer note. Hazardous waste EWC codes
