    Wool-scouring waste

Queensland K190: wool scouring is the industrial washing of raw wool.

Waste from industrial washing of raw wool, the grease & dirt scoured from fleece. Has its own Queensland waste code.

Is Queensland K190 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. K190 is a Schedule 11 trackable-waste description. Tracking applies while the commercial or industrial waste stays regulated under section 42. Check the Schedule 9 exclusions and the section 42(4) test-out route before treating a movement as trackable. This code has no precedence mark when several descriptions fit.

For a tracked load, enter K190 as the waste code on the Queensland waste transport certificate. The generator completes Part 1, the transporter Part 2 and the receiver Part 3. Lodge it through an approved online, bulk-upload or numbered-paper route. The Queensland exclusions still apply.

What does Queensland K190 cover?

Effluent, sludge and other residue from cleaning wool fall here. The source process separates this from animal-processing waste and from unrelated grease or wastewater.
