Apply for a waste producer number
As a company, you must comply with certain registration and verification obligations when handling hazardous waste.
If you have to dispose of more than 2 tons of hazardous waste per year, you need a waste producer number.
The waste producer number
- is a nine-digit identification number that you need as a waste producer or waste owner in order to participate in the electronic waste records procedure (eANV) when disposing of hazardous waste,
- identifies the place where the waste is generated or accumulates,
- is necessary, among other things, to be able to prove the proper and environmentally friendly disposal of hazardous waste.
You need a waste producer number for waste disposal certificates and consignment bills. You also need the number for entry in the so-called transfer bill if waste is collected and disposed of with a collective waste disposal certificate. A maximum of 20 tons per calendar year, point of origin and waste code is permitted for this.
If you have several business sites where hazardous waste is generated, you must apply for a separate waste producer number for each site.

- In the event of a company name change, the previous producer number will remain valid if there is no change in legal identity.
