Expediency seems to be the only rationale for adding 6 more categories of waste to the list of wastes that are eligible for registration under EASR.
These 6 activities were exempted from eligibility for EASR; what has changed?

The proposal to streamline approvals for the handling of hazardous waste streams, such as asbestos waste, biomedical waste, and liquid industrial waste, raises significant concerns from both a scientific and safety perspective.
