Victoria R140: this includes cosmetics production and applies only where the neighbouring healthcare entries do not fit.
ComplyOnSiteIs Victoria R140 priority waste?
Yes. R140 is pre-classified priority waste, so no mirror assessment decides its Schedule 5 status. Transactions and transport are both reportable.
Where the duty applies, enter R140 as the Schedule 5 waste code in the Waste Tracker record. The tracking exceptions and designation and household rules still apply.
What does Victoria R140 cover?
Waste from making pharmaceutical products or cosmetics, where items 96–98 of the Table have no other entry. The waste must come from production, and none of the neighbouring healthcare descriptions can fit.

Is pharmaceutical production waste Victoria R140 or R120?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| R140 | The waste came from making pharmaceuticals or cosmetics and no neighbouring entry fits. |
| R120 | The waste came from using pharmaceutical products, not making them. |
Name the waste itself before choosing a code for something in it. A chemical in soil or another material doesn't settle which description goes on the load record.
What does a Victoria R140 load need before it moves?
For a reportable transaction, the producer creates the Waste Tracker record before dispatch. A transporter or accredited consigner can do this for the producer, who stays accountable and keeps a copy. Arrange the transporter and receiving site first.
Record the code, an accurate description, form, amount, packages, treatment, industry, dispatch date and the parties involved. Add dangerous goods details where they apply. The driver records collection and delivery, and the receiver records receipt. Priority waste going to landfill, and soil that is priority waste, also needs the disposal category that applies.
