A German SME from Berlin is looking for a recycling company from the Czech Republic or Poland that can provide waste wood in the framework of a supplier agreement. The waste wood will be used for thermal recycling. The Waste Wood Ordinance distinguishes between four waste wood categories: Category A 1: Waste wood left in its natural state or merely mechanically processed, which, when used, is not more than insignificantly contaminated with foreign matter. Category A 2: Glued, painted, varnished or otherwise treated waste wood without halogen-organic compounds in the coating (e.g. PVC) and without wood preservatives. Category A 3I: Waste wood with organohalogen compounds in the coating and without wood preservatives Category A 4: Waste wood treated with wood preservatives, such as railway sleepers, pylons, hop poles, and other waste wood which cannot be assigned to waste wood categories AI, AII or AIII due to its pollutant load, with the exception of PCB waste wood. The SME is interested in the following types of waste, according to the European Waste Catalogue (EWC) and the Waste Wood Ordinance (PDF table for download in media section): 03 01 01: waste bark and cork -- A 1 03 01 04*: sawdust, shavings, cuttings, wood, particle board and veneer containing hazardous substances -- A 4 03 01 05: sawdust, shavings, cuttings, wood, particle board and veneer other than those mentioned in 03 01 04 -- A1, A2, A3 03 03 01: waste bark and wood -- A1 15 01 03: wooden packaging -- A1, A2, (A3) 15 01 10*: packaging containing residues of or contaminated by hazardous substances -- A4 17 02 01: wood -- A1, A2 17 02 04: glass, plastic and wood containing or contaminated with hazardous substances -- A4 19 12 06*: wood containing hazardous substances -- A4 19 12 07: wood other than that mentioned in 19 12 06 -- A1, A2, (A3) 20 01 37*: wood containing hazardous substances -- A4 20 01 38: wood other than that mentioned in 20 01 37 -- A1, A2, A3 After the initiation of the business relationship, the supplier agreement could be extended to further types of waste, such as: 16 01 03: end-of-life tyres 16 01 19: plastic / car bumpers 17 01 01: concrete 17 08 02: gypsum-based construction materials other than those mentioned in 17 08 01 19 12 04: plastic and rubber 19 12 12: other wastes (including mixtures of materials) from mechanical treatment of wastes other than those mentioned in 19 12 11 The German SME is very experienced on the Czech and Polish markets, having been active there for more than 20 years.
