What does it mean if the waste fails the WAC test?
If the levels of the various components specified in the test exceed the set thresholds, the waste is deemed to have failed the WAC test. That being the case, this material will not be accepted into landfill. The producer must then determine an alternative route for the waste, eg incineration, or the waste must be remediated in order to reduce the component(s) responsible for the failure or to stabilise it in some way in order to reduce its leaching capabilities.
