Wool-scouring waste
National reporting K190: wool scouring is the industrial washing of raw wool.
ComplyOnSiteIs National K190 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. K190 is a DCCEEW reporting category that groups waste data nationally. It doesn't make every material with this description hazardous. State and territory rules decide the classification, exclusions and movement duties for a real load.
Enter K190 in the national waste-data category field when reporting under that standard. It isn't a transport certificate. A movement needs the code and record accepted where it starts, plus any required destination consignment authorisation for an interstate controlled load. Apply separate interstate movement controls, because a reporting code gives no state movement classification.
What does National K190 cover?
Effluent, sludge and other residue from cleaning wool go here. The wool-cleaning source separates it from animal-processing waste and from unrelated grease or wastewater.
