NOVITA’ CLASSIFICAZIONE HP14 DEI RIFIUTI

  The Guidelines on the Classification of Waste referred to in the resolution of the Council of the National System for Environmental Protection of 18 May 2021 have been approved. The 3R rule in Legislative Decree 26/2014 indicates that the use of animals for scientific purposes should be reduced as much as possible by means of “Replacement, Reduction, Refinement” techniques. For waste classification, FET represents a fundamental replacement technique that, by replacing the method on young fish, avoids the use of animals protected by the Decree. Such use is today strongly opposed by public opinion. Our sales department will be happy to assist you in confirming the HP14 “ecotoxic” classification of waste involving the alternative use of FET, together with the common tests on crustaceans (OECD 202) and algae (OECD 203).
