HP 14Ecotoxic

EWC codes that commonly carry this hazard property

15 of 142 entries from the UK List of Wastes.

These are EWC entries that typically carry this hazard property, not a determination that any particular load does. Under WM3, whether a hazard property applies depends on the substances actually present and their concentrations — the producer is responsible for assessing each consignment.
