1 1 List of issues relevant for adding non-listed wastes to Annex IIIB of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 on shipments of waste The information marked by an asterisk (*) is recommended to be provided. The other information may be provided in addition PROPOSED WORDING FOR THE ENTRY IN ANNEX IIIB*: COMBINATION PACKAGING (B B3010) WITHOUT RESIDU A. PROPERTIES OF THE MIXTURE OF WASTE 1. Usual description*: Combination packaging consisting of a paper outer package with an - attached and easily removable - separate plastic inner bag In addition, for each fraction of the mixture: Give the name or names by which the material is commonly known or the commercial name and the names of its major constituents (in terms of quantity and/or hazard) and their relative concentrations (expressed as a percentage), if known: Concentrations: 95 70% paper and 5 30% plastic See fotos below as examples of the referred to combination packages. Please note: The combination package as referred to above should not be confused with / does not concern craftpaper. Craftpaper is already included in annex III under code B 3020 and is paper laminated with plastic as a result of which the plastic cannot easily be separated from the paper fraction. The combination package that is applied for entry in annex IIIB by this form, does not concern craft - laminated - paper but paper with a separate and easy removable plastic layer that is fixed to the paper along the edge of it. In other words: it s a mixture of paper and plastic. Because - the recovery of combination packages causes no environmental harm, - other kind of packages with a similar proportion of paper and plastic fraction are not subject to prior notification, and - the classification of these kind of combination packages as a mixture subject to prior notification causes confusion in trade and industry combination packages should be included in annex IIIB.

3 3 2. Waste identification (fill in relevant codes)* European Community list of wastes: (combination of and ) Basel Annex IX (if appropriate): B 3020 and B 3010 OECD code (if appropriate and if different from Basel code): GI 010 and GH Physical characteristics*: powdery/powder solid viscous/pasty sludgy liquid gaseous other (specify) If appropriate, indicate also details, such as pellets, briquettes, etc.: Combination packaging consisting of a paper outside package (for example: bag) with an - attached and easily removable by hand - separate plastic inner bag 4. Chemical characteristics: Attach an analysis if appropriate. 5. Potential for contamination*: Description on any potential for contamination by other materials to an extent which (a) is sufficient for submission to the procedure of prior written notification and consent, or (b) prevents the recovery of the wastes in an environmentally sound manner: Residues of previous content, for example food or chemical residues Possible hazardous characteristics: H1 explosive H2 oxidizing H3-A highly flammable H3-B flammable H4 irritant H5 harmful H6 toxic H7 carcinogenic H8 corrosive H9 infectious H10 teratogenic H11 mutagenic H12 substances and preparations which release toxic or very toxic gases in contact with water, air or an acid H13 Substances and preparations capable by any means, after disposal, of yielding another substance, e.g. a leachate, which possesses any of the characteristics listed above H14 ecotoxic The possibe hazardous characteristics depend on the kind of residue (for example: food remains attract vermin) 6. Information on the process(es) by which the mixture of waste is produced*: - production failures (in this case no contamination with residues) - discarding of used packaging B. MANAGEMENT ASPECTS 1. Technological capacity Estimated capacity for recovery in the EU in tonnes: Estimated amount of facilities for recovery in the EU: > > >1000 Possible third countries where recovery facilities are located: India China

4 4 2. Packaging types Drum Wooden barrel Jerrican Box Bag Composite packaging Pressure receptacle Bulk Other (specify): 3. Storage: Methods of storage at the recovery facility (if appropriate): 4. Trade aspects Amount of waste shipped within the EU (rough indication): Amount of waste export from the EU or import to the EU from third countries (rough indication): 5. Recovery operation(s) for the mixture of waste*: R1 Use as a fuel (other than direct incineration) or other means to generate energy/use principally as a fuel or other means to generate energy R2 Solvent reclamation/regeneration R 3 Recycling/reclamation of organic substances which are not used as solvents (including composting and other biological transformation processes) R4 Recycling/reclamation of metals and metal compounds R5 Recycling/reclamation of other inorganic materials R6 Regeneration of acids or bases R7 Recovery of components used for pollution abatement R8 Recovery of components from catalysts R9 Used oil re-refining or other reuses of previously used oil R10 Land treatment resulting in benefit to agriculture or ecological improvement R11 Use of wastes obtained from any of the operations numbered R 1 to R 10 R12 Exchange of wastes for submission to any of the operations numbered R 1 to R 11 R13 Accumulation of material intended for any operation in this list 6. Description of recovery operation(s)*: Indicate the technologies employed for the non interim recovery operation(s): Indicate the technologies employed for any interim recovery operation(s): - shredding to use as fuel - separation of the paper and plastic fractions - cleaning in case the plastic inner bag is contaminated with residues 7. Use of recovered materials (e.g. compliance with technical/industrial quality standards): 8. Recovery quota (rough indication)* Amount of recovered material in relation to non-recoverable waste: 95% Non-recoverable fraction (list typical fractions and their major constituents): 5% (residues of the packaging itself like glue or stitching)

5 5 Typical method of disposal (operation) for the non-recoverable fraction: - use as fuel - landfill - sewage C. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS Overall environmental benefits of the recovery of the mixture of waste*: Virgin material conservation Energy conservation Emission reduction (e.g. reduction of greenhouse gas emissions) Reduction of the amount of waste destined to disposal other (please describe) D. ENFORCEABLILTY Possible methods for the control of compliance of the mixture of waste with the proposed entry for Annex IIIB by enforcement officers (e.g. simple tests)*: Enforcement (e.g. classification of the waste in shipment situations) is possible by the way of visible inspection or sampling if no residues are accepted.
