Waste Classification: WM3 Virtual Training

Our Waste Classification: WM3 virtual training is a blended training course which combines live tutor led sessions over Zoom and online learning activities. This will ensure delegates understand how to correctly use the list of wastes, as found in the current version of the Waste Classification Technical Guidance – WM3. Identifying the appropriate code is vital for compliance with your Waste Duty of Care and is also the first step in waste classification. It is applicable to: 

• Any size of organisation  
• Anyone who needs to ensure that waste is appropriately coded using a 6-digit waste code
• Waste producers, regulators, consultants, waste carriers, waste permit holders

Ensuring compliance with Duty of Care can benefit you by ensuring you are thinking about the most cost effect and most sustainable way of managing your waste. If that isn’t incentive enough, it also enables you to demonstrate that you have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that your waste is handled safely and legally throughout by everyone. Thus, avoiding reputational damage and hefty fines (or worse!).

• Where to find the list of wastes
