European Waste Catalogue
Spent halogen-free machining emulsions and solutions are 12 01 09 — a hazardous entry. Halogen-containing emulsions are 12 01 08 and neat machining oils 12 01 07 or 12 01 10.
Also searched as: cutting fluid, metalworking emulsion, suds, coolant emulsion

With a lab analysis, the engine checks the stream against each receiving route's published limits and returns what is supported, what is refused, and why. Without one yet, we tell you which routes it can evaluate and what analysis that needs.
