Information to be submitted to the Waste Registry
The waste ordinance requires any establishments or undertakings that produce, transport, collect, treat, trade or broker hazardous waste to take notes and report to the waste registry. This site contains instructions on how to report to the waste registry and details on which information that needs to be submitted.
Target group
Businesses who produces hazardous waste, transports hazardous waste, receives hazardous waste in collection operations, broker or deal in hazardous waste and treats hazardous waste and other waste.
Legislation
The information to be provided in the e-service is provided by the sixth chapter of the Waste Ordinance and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's regulations in this area.
Waste Ordinance (SFS 2020: 614) (in Swedish)
The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's regulations contain rules on:
- which information on hazardous waste is to be recorded in accordance with ch. Sections 1–5 of the Waste Ordinance (2020: 614)
- how recorded information is to be submitted to the Waste Registry according to ch. § 11 of the same ordinance, and
- what information must be submitted to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency in accordance with ch. § 3 of the same ordinance.
The swedish legislation is an implementation of the EU's amended waste directive.
Note that the information reported to the Waste registry does not replace the information that must be recorded in each activity. It must be possible to report notes at the request of a supervisory authority.
Report via e-service
All business representatives who have access to e-identification can provide information via the e-service, both for their own business but also as a proxy for another companies.
Unlike when reporting to the Waste Registry via API, it is not required that you enter into an agreement with the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency to use the e-service.

Report to the Waste Registry via API
Businesses that are required to take notes according to the Waste Ordinance, as well as the service and software suppliers that deliver systems to these operators, can provide information via API.
Businesses will be able to submit information to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's Waste Registry using the API – a web service that enables two different systems to exchange information with each other.
Until the guide is updated with more information, you can contact our customer service for information on how to connect to the Waste Registry's API.

A representative is a company that has been hired to report recorded information to the Waste Registry on behalf of a business. It can, for example, be an organization in the waste industry that collects waste. The fields for representatives are left blank if the company itself submits its own information.
VAT numbers are provided for companies outside Sweden. There is a standard within the EU, but as long as you adhere to the format "international country code + number", information about companies outside the EU can also be provided.
The CFAR number is Statistics Sweden's eight-digit identity for workplaces and is needed as a basis for statistical purposes regarding the origin of the waste. To find out a company's workplace number, contact Statistics Sweden or use Statistics Sweden's e-service CfarNrSök.
