Waste list and classification
General Hazardous waste
Every waste type has a 6-digit code. An asterisk (*) means hazardous. Examples: 13 02 05* mineral engine oil; 16 06 01* lead-acid batteries; 16 01 03 end-of-life tyres.
AutoLoop: AutoLoop suggests the code as soon as you pick the waste type.

Waste records and reporting

Government Resolution No. 145 · 2016
Hazardous waste collection, treatment and the transport form
Hazardous waste Transport
Every hazardous waste shipment travels with a transport form (Annex II, 14 fields). Waste must be properly packed and labelled.
AutoLoop: The form fills from your inventory and prints in the official layout.
Government Resolution No. 327 · 2020
Technical regulation on waste oils
Oils Hazardous waste
Used oil must not be dumped or mixed; it goes to an authorised collector. Extended producer responsibility: oil importers and producers fund collection through EPR organisations. Art. 16: keeping records of waste oil.
AutoLoop: Every drum of oil is logged, and you can see where it went.
Government Resolution No. 325 · 2020
Technical regulation on waste tyres
Tyres
Tyre importers and producers have collection duties (EPR). Used tyres should go into the collection system, not to landfill.
AutoLoop: Tyres join shared routes, so even small amounts get collected.
Government Resolution No. 324 · 2020
Technical regulation on waste batteries and accumulators
Batteries Hazardous waste
Lead-acid batteries are hazardous waste (16 06 01*). Importers and producers have collection duties (EPR).
AutoLoop: Batteries stay in the legal chain instead of the black market.
Extended producer responsibility (EPR) organisations
They organise collection for importers and producers. AutoLoop brings garage waste to them; it does not replace them.

The WMS system
Waste records are kept in the Ministry's electronic system (wms.mepa.gov.ge). One record has four tabs (sender, waste, carrier, recipient); the carrier and recipient confirm it, and a sent record cannot be edited or deleted.
