EWC code finder

Search every European Waste Catalogue (EWC) code on the UK List of Wastes, by code or by words, and see which are hazardous and which are mirror entries.

Hazardous marks a hazardous entry (shown with * after the code). A Mirror entry has a hazardous and a non-hazardous version: which applies depends on what's in the waste. How to choose the right code.

How Tippa helps

Every waste item in Tippa is coded from Defra's own lists, so the codes you record are the codes Defra accepts. Search by code or description as you type, and your favourite codes are a tap away.

  • EWC codes, container types and disposal and recovery codes all from Defra's lists.
  • Hazardous codes ask for the details the law needs, such as HP codes and components.
  • Favourite codes for the waste you see every day. Productivity add-on
