About the product

What does EWC code finder do?

Search the UK List of Waste by a waste description or a six-digit code. The finder covers all 842 entries and shows which codes are marked hazardous. You can look up common construction wastes, check a code supplied by someone else, or download the full list as PDF or Excel. The page explains chapters, sub-chapters and the asterisk used for hazardous entries. It also explains why paired codes require knowledge of the waste rather than a choice based on its name alone. The tool is free, needs no account and stores nothing.
