Submit proof of disposal in the privileged procedure
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzThe verification and register obligations under the Closed Substance Cycle Waste Management Act (KrWG) are aimed at documenting and monitoring the proper disposal of waste.
As a waste-generating company that produces hazardous waste, you and the companies involved in its disposal must provide evidence of proper disposal, both to each other and to the competent authorities, and keep the necessary records.
As a waste-generating company, you must provide proof of disposal even before the start of disposal in order to prove the permissibility of the planned type of disposal.
The competent authority must confirm the permissibility of the disposal before it begins.
The obligation to confirm the proof of disposal does not apply in the so-called privileged procedure. This applies to the following companies
- disposal facilities that are certified as a specialist disposal company or
- disposal facilities that belong to a company entered in the EMAS register or
- waste management facilities that have been exempted from the confirmation obligation by the competent authority upon request.
In the privileged procedure, disposal can begin immediately after the proof of disposal has been sent to the competent authority.
In addition to the obligation to provide evidence, Rhineland-Palatinate also has an obligation to deliver hazardous waste.
The obligation to deliver is checked and decided in the form of an allocation. If the waste in question is not subject to the obligation to deliver, it is merely acknowledged.
