The Hazardous Waste Directive

Hazardous wastes must be included in waste management strategies and plans. The Special Waste Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1998 implement this directive by defining special waste and requiring a tracking system for hazardous waste movement from production to final disposal or recovery.

The Directive on Hazardous Waste (91/689/EEC) requires that hazardous wastes be included within the scope of waste management strategies and plans. Its requirements are implemented by the Special Waste Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1998 which introduce a new definition of special waste and require a tracking system to control the movement of hazardous waste from its point of production to its final destination for disposal or recovery.
