Waste code
EWC 13 07 02*: petrol
13 07 02*
Typed into Defra's service and Byrne Waste Tracking as 130702*. It is a hazardous entry (the asterisk), so each load needs its hazard property codes, components and a consignment code.
Who takes it
34 permitted sites in England recorded taking 13 07 02* in their 2024 returns to the Environment Agency.
What happens to it
The recovery or disposal code those sites recorded most for 13 07 02* in 2024 (the code each site used for most of its tonnes):
| Code | Means | Sites |
|---|
| R13 | storage pending recovery | 74% |
| D15 | storage pending disposal | 12% |
| R3 | recycling organic substances | 9% |
| D9 | physico-chemical treatment | 3% |
The right code is the one on your own permit and transfer notes - this is what other sites did, not a rule. R and D codes explained.
