Abfallnummer

Abfallnummer refers to a classification system used in Germany for waste management. It is a numerical code assigned to various types of waste to facilitate identification, tracking, and proper disposal. These numbers are crucial for regulatory compliance and ensuring that waste is handled in an environmentally responsible manner.

The Abfallnummer system is part of a broader legal framework governing waste in Germany, often linked to specific waste disposal regulations and permits. Different categories of waste, ranging from household refuse to industrial byproducts, are assigned unique Abfallnummern. This standardization helps authorities monitor waste streams and prevent illegal dumping or improper treatment. Companies that produce or handle waste are legally obligated to correctly identify and label their waste with the appropriate Abfallnummer. This aids specialized waste disposal companies in selecting the correct treatment or recycling methods. The system contributes to the overall efficiency and safety of waste management processes.
