We are leading in WAC testing
WAC testing
When waste or material has been classed as hazardous or non-hazardous, it can be assessed using WAC testing.
The WM3 classification suite can hopefully treat or reuse material, but the last resort would be to send the waste to landfill. If it must be disposed of, the WAC test tells you which landfill you can send your waste to.
Waste Acceptance Criteria testing and WAC suites
We offer WAC testing in accordance with BS EN 12457 under the 4 main WAC suites for the UK:
Inert suite
