D.4. Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Wastes

According to the Environmental Law, wastes and substances contaminated with these wastes
that cause deterioration of the ecological balance and natural structures of humans and other
living things by having a negative physical, chemical and / or biological effect are called hazar-
dous wastes.

Hazardous wastes are wastes that have one or more of the hazardous characteristics listed in
Annex-3/A of the By-law on Waste Management and have an asterisk (*) next to the six-digit
waste code in Annex-4 of the By-law on Waste Management.
While recovering and disposing of these wastes, measures should be taken to prevent harm to
human and environmental health. For this reason, it is obligatory to obtain a licence from the
MoEUCC for the recovery and disposal of hazardous wastes. In addition to this, the companies
that will transport hazardous wastes must also obtain a hazardous waste transport licence.

Waste data consists of the declarations made by waste generators to the MoEUCC Waste Dec-
laration System (TABS) and includes the waste data generated at the waste generator’s facility
and sent to the waste treatment facility for recovery/disposal in the declaration year.
