Special waste are made of conditioned chemical waste (acid, mixed hydrocarbons, oils, light bulbs, neons, etc...).
Efficient waste management means ensuring waste flows are directed into the appropriate disposal processes.
Special wastes are subject to a disposal procedure defined by the Swiss ordinance on the movement of waste, the Ordonnance sur les mouvements de déchets (OMoD). For more information on waste movement please consult the relevant website: https://www.veva-online.admin.ch/
