How Waste Code Search works in LoadSnap

Waste Code Search looks up EWC codes across the full UK List of Waste, including hazardous status. What it is, why getting the code right matters, and how to search by keyword or code.

Waste Code Search lets you look up EWC codes from the full List of Waste. A tool, available to anyone.

What it is

A search across the complete UK List of Waste, more than 850 EWC codes, including which are hazardous.

Why it's there

Getting the EWC code right matters, and the full list is long. A quick search saves you trawling a PDF and helps avoid filing the wrong code.

How it works

Search by keyword or by code and LoadSnap shows the matching entries with their context and hazardous status. In a normal workflow the AI suggests the code for you from a photo, but the search is there whenever you want to look one up directly.
