    Paint, ink and dye waste

Queensland F100 has no marked precedence when several descriptions fit.

Waste from making, mixing or using paints, inks, dyes, pigments, lacquers & varnish, including leftover paint & ink.

Is Queensland F100 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. F100 is a Schedule 11 trackable-waste description. A load is tracked while the commercial or industrial waste stays regulated under section 42. Check the Schedule 9 exclusions and the section 42(4) test-out route first, as they decide whether a movement is trackable. F100 has no precedence mark when several descriptions fit.

For a tracked load, enter F100 in the waste-code field of the Queensland waste transport certificate. The generator fills in Part 1, the transporter Part 2 and the receiver Part 3. Lodge it online, by bulk upload or on numbered paper, whichever route is approved. The Queensland exclusions still apply.

What does Queensland F100 cover?

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