• The use of the clinical waste classification system using Groups A to E has been removed, as it is felt that its continued use is inappropriate. The A to E classification system no longer reflects appropriate segregation for treatment or disposal, and does not easily equate to the use of European Waste Catalogue (EWC) codes, which are now mandatory for all waste transfer documentation.
