Waste Matrix Template
A single matrix for logging every waste stream your organisation produces - the waste type and its code, whether it is hazardous, how it is stored and collected, and which carrier takes it away. One row per stream gives you a clear, reviewable picture of all your waste in one place.
It supports the operational control and waste duty of care expectations of ISO 14001, and works alongside the individual transfer notes that evidence each movement of waste off site.
Built for ISO 14001 and the Waste Duty of Care
The matrix gives a single, reviewable view of every waste stream and supports the operational control and duty of care requirements of ISO 14001:
- Waste type and description recorded with its relevant waste code
- Hazardous status flagged for each stream
- Where each waste is stored and how it is collected
- The registered carrier and disposal route for each stream
What's Included in this Waste Matrix
The form is a single matrix with a header block and one row per waste stream:
- Header - the location(s) covered, the date reviewed and who reviewed it
- Waste type - what the waste is and a short description
- Waste code - the relevant EWC / List of Wastes code
- Hazardous? - whether the stream is hazardous waste
- Storage / collection - where it is stored and how it is collected
- Waste carrier - the registered carrier used, cross-referenced to your suppliers
- Notes - any additional detail
Who Needs a Waste Matrix?
Any organisation that produces more than one kind of waste - offices, workshops, manufacturers, construction and trades, facilities teams. It gives a clear, auditable overview of waste handling for anyone working towards or maintaining ISO 14001 certification.
Included in the ISO 14001 Toolkit
This form is part of the ISO 14001 Toolkit - example assessments, registers, procedures and guidance for running an environmental management system in one download - and is included in every alphaZ ISO toolkit that covers environmental management.
Pairs with the Waste Transfer Note
