PFAS-contaminated material
Tasmania M270: PFAS means per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances; contaminated products, containers or soil may fit.
ComplyOnSiteIs Tasmania M270 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. For national-list categories, Tasmania also needs a listed hazardous characteristic, which is presumed unless shown otherwise. Tasmania adds its own controlled wastes too, so read the category and the local rules together.
Put M270 with the specific waste description in the controlled-waste consignment documentation. Record the producer, quantity, form, contaminants, registered transporter and receiver. An incoming interstate controlled load needs EPA Tasmania's consignment authorisation, and another state's certificate doesn't authorise the receiving facility. Follow the Tasmanian handling and transport rules.
What does Tasmania M270 cover?
PFAS-contaminated material goes here, including discarded products that contain PFAS and contaminated containers. Products, containers and soil are examples. What matters is contamination by a PFAS substance.
