Paint, ink and dye waste

ACT guide entry F100; it supports interstate control and does not settle local disposal approval.

Controlled waste from making & using paints, inks, dyes, pigments, lacquers & varnishes, including residues & rinse water.

Is ACT F100 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. ACT interstate controls apply when the waste matches a NEPM Schedule A List 1 category and has a List 2 hazardous characteristic. The ACT list supplies the printed code, because the NEPM doesn't print A100-style numbers.

For a controlled border movement, enter F100 with the waste description on the waste transport certificate. The producer, transporter and receiver each complete their part. Get ACT EPA's consignment authorisation before bringing controlled waste into the ACT, and record the quantity, form, destination and dangerous goods details. ACT movement exclusions still apply.

What does ACT F100 cover?

Waste from making, formulating or using inks, dyes, pigments, paints, lacquers or varnishes falls here. The code follows the activity and the product, not one named solvent or colourant.

Official wording: Responsibilities of controlled waste producers in the ACT
Rule or list: Responsibilities of controlled waste producers in the ACT
