RCRA Hazardous Waste Number
Ignitable waste - liquids with flash point below 60 C (140 F), ignitable solids, oxidizers, and ignitable compressed gases

Ignitable (characteristic)
Regulation
40 CFR Part 261
Need recovery options for a D001 stream?
Map recovery routes for D001Wastes that are hazardous because of what they do, not where they come from: ignitability (D001), corrosivity (D002), reactivity (D003), or toxicity (D004-D043, defined by TCLP contaminant thresholds). Any industrial waste stream can carry a D code.
A D code is determined by testing, not by source: TCLP for toxicity (D004-D043), flash point for ignitability (D001), pH for corrosivity (D002).
Characteristic wastes can exit hazardous status when the characteristic is removed - treatment to below the regulatory level is a recognized compliance path.
Generators must count D-coded streams toward their monthly generator status (VSQG / SQG / LQG).
European Waste Catalogue (EWC) codes that describe an overlapping or equivalent waste stream to D001.
D001 characterizes by flash point below 60C regardless of source; EWC 13 07 03 is scoped specifically to waste fuels and fuel mixtures, one possible D001 stream among many.
D001 is a pure flash-point characteristic applying to any waste; EWC 14 06 03 is scoped to waste organic solvents, which are commonly but not always ignitable.
Common industrial materials that can carry the D001 waste code — each finder page shows exactly when it applies.
Recognized recovery routes for this waste family, ranked by typical recovery tier. Which route fits depends on your specific stream — composition, volume and region.
Solvent-bearing ignitable liquids are prime reclamation candidates: distillation recovers a reusable solvent fraction and removes the ignitability characteristic from the residue in one step.
40 CFR 261.1(c)(4) — reclamationOrganic-bearing streams with usable fuel value can be blended and burned for energy recovery in permitted boilers and industrial furnaces instead of being incinerated as pure disposal.
40 CFR Part 266 Subpart H — burning for energy recoveryTreatment that removes the ignitability characteristic (deactivation) can take the stream out of hazardous management entirely, opening conventional recovery or disposal routes.
40 CFR 268.40 — LDR treatment standardsThese are the typical routes for the D list. Your stream's actual options depend on its composition and where it sits.
