    Other organic-solvent process waste

South Australia G160: the manufacture, preparation or use of organic solvents must be the source.

Waste from the production, formulation & use of organic solvents in South Australia. The solvent work must be the source.

Is South Australia G160 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. The SA EPA operational code list and its table of waste requiring tracking are separate, so a code can be on one and not the other. The description doesn't approve a receiving facility or a disposal method.

G160 is in the SA table for waste requiring tracking, within the state or interstate. Enter it with the SA description on the WasteTracker transport certificate, against a matching consignment authorisation. The consignor, transporter and receiver each complete their own part. The SA tracking exemptions still apply.

What does South Australia G160 cover?

Process waste from making, formulating or using organic solvents goes here when no more specific solvent entry fits. It covers the residues of solvent work, not every discarded solvent.
