Submit Data to the Waste Register

Those who conduct professional activities where hazardous waste occurs must keep records for each type of hazardous waste and digitally report this information to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's (Naturvårdsverket) waste register. This is a statutory obligation under the waste ordinance (avfallsförordningen).

Reporting can be done via API or e-services on Naturvårdsverket's website. Information on the treatment of hazardous waste is reported quarterly, while other information must be submitted within two working days from the date when the record should be made at the latest.
