    Paint, ink and dye waste

Tasmania publishes F100 in its controlled-waste list; the characteristic test remains relevant.

Wastes from making or using paints, inks, dyes, lacquers & varnish, including leftover paint & rinse water.

Is Tasmania F100 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. For national-list categories, Tasmania also needs a listed hazardous characteristic, not just the waste description. The characteristic is presumed unless shown otherwise. Tasmania adds its own controlled wastes too, so read the category and the local rules together.

Where controlled waste needs movement documentation, enter F100 with the specific waste description in the controlled-waste consignment documentation. Record the producer, quantity, form, contaminants, registered transporter and receiver. The Tasmanian handling and transport rules apply.

A controlled load coming in from another state needs EPA Tasmania's consignment authorisation. Another state's certificate doesn't authorise the receiving facility.

What does Tasmania F100 cover?

Process 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 one named solvent or colourant.
