Waste separation

In many cases, businesses in the Netherlands are obliged to separate their waste. Separation of hazardous waste (i.e. posing a threat to people, animals or the environment) is always compulsory. For all other waste streams, separation is only compulsory if the additional waste separation costs do not exceed €45. The (Dutch-language) InfoMil additional cost test indicates whether you are obliged to separate non-hazardous waste.

Waste product cards

Waste product cards are available for various waste products. These cards explain:

• what you do and do not have to separate out;
• the best means of collection to use;
• the costs and benefits of separate collection;
• where you can obtain more information about the waste stream.

The waste product cards are only available in Dutch.
