    Fixed, solidified or encapsulated waste

South Australia N160: treatment by encapsulation, chemical fixing, solidification or polymerisation does not erase the waste category.

Encapsulated, chemically fixed, solidified & polymer wastes in South Australia. Treating waste this way keeps its category.

Is South Australia N160 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.

N160 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 N160 cover?

Waste that has been encapsulated, chemically fixed, solidified or polymerised goes here. Those treatments don't take the material out of the waste description in South Australia’s list.

Is solidified waste South Australia N160?

CodeWhen it fits
N160The waste has been encapsulated, chemically fixed, solidified or polymerised.

Use the SA EPA operational entry for an SA load. The separate interstate Policy description is kept where its wording differs, but it doesn't replace the operational table or settle tracking on its own.
