Isocyanates used in polyurethane products
Western Australia M220: these reactive chemicals are used in products such as polyurethane paints, foams and glues.
ComplyOnSiteIs WA M220 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. M220 is a WA controlled-waste category. Regulation 3 covers industrial, commercial, medical, laboratory and sewage-treatment waste, but not domestic waste. Waste that a Class I, II or III landfill can lawfully accept is excluded, with exceptions such as asbestos, tyres and clinical waste.
For a tracked load, enter M220 in the controlled-waste category field on the DWER tracking form. DWER issues the number. The authorised carrier or driver records collection and transport, and the receiving facility closes the record. Record the holder, amount, containment and destination. The WA load thresholds and exclusions set which loads are tracked.
What does WA M220 cover?
Isocyanate compounds used in products such as polyurethane foams, paints and glues. The code isn't limited to one product form.
