    South Australia interstate Policy: other organic-solvent process waste

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

Waste from making, preparing or using organic solvents, such as still bottoms, contaminated rags & spent wash.

Is SA interstate policy G160 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. This description comes from South Australia's interstate controlled-waste Policy, which is kept apart from the current SA EPA operational table. Whether a waste is controlled also depends on the hazardous-characteristic test and the movement rules.

For a controlled border movement in SA WasteTracker, enter the operational code in the waste-code field of the transport certificate, with the SA description, against the matching consignment authorisation. The operational entry sets the SA tracking-table position. This Policy entry doesn't set local tracking by itself. The SA approval and record requirements apply.

What does SA interstate policy G160 cover?

Process waste from making, formulating or using organic solvents, where no more specific solvent entry fits. It is for solvent-activity residues, not every discarded solvent.

Official wording
Waste from the production, formulation and use of organic solvents

Does SA interstate policy G160 take other organic-solvent process waste?
