As a company, you must comply with certain registration and verification obligations when handling hazardous waste.

If you have more than 2 tons of hazardous waste to dispose of per year, you will need a waste producer number.

The waste producer number

• is a nine-digit identification number that you need as a waste producer or as a waste holder in order to be able to participate in the electronic waste verification procedure (eANV) for the disposal of hazardous waste,
• indicates the place where the waste is generated or generated,
• is necessary, among other things, to be able to prove the proper and environmentally sound disposal of hazardous waste.

You need a waste producer number for disposal post-eise and consignment notes. In addition, you need the number for entry in the so-called takeover certificate if waste is collected and disposed of with a collective disposal certificate. For this purpose, a maximum of 20 tonnes per calendar year, source and waste code are permitted.

If you have several sites where hazardous waste is generated, you must apply for a separate waste producer number for each site.

Hints:

• In the event of a move, the previous producer number becomes invalid. Please apply for a new waste producer number for the new location.
• In the event of a change of name of the company, the previous producer number remains unchanged if it is not accompanied by a change in legal identity.
