This group includes: F100 Waste from the production and use of inks, dyes, pigments, paints, lacquers & varnish F110 Waste from the production & use of resins, latex, plasticisers, glues and adhesives. The former includes polymeric material such as polyacrylates and methacrylates, together with pigments and small quantities of substances like plasticizers and anti-oxidants. The latter includes monomers used in production of polymers, waste products from the production site, or waste generated in or after use of the products.

In Victoria and South Australia motor vehicle manufacturing overspray wastes (usage) predominate, while in NSW and Queensland wastes from the manufacturing of these materials are the primary source, as well as small contributors (as material users) in printing, surface coating and manufacturing of aircraft, aircraft components and furniture. Analysis These wastes are almost exclusively generated in Victoria (35%), NSW (33%) and Queensland (23%). This waste group is significant enough in volumetric terms, making up just over 1% of Australia’s hazardous wastes. Historical trends in arisings for this waste group, for those states that record tracking data, are shown in the Figure overleaf. Anecdotally, this waste should be declining due to decreasing material hazard from the advent of paints and coatings and vegetable oils replacing petroleum products in most printing inks. Decade long datasets in Victoria and Queensland indicate growth from around the mid-2000s onwards, but the last three years of data indicate a steady decline, perhaps due to stagnancy in some industries that use these materials (e.g. car manufacturing) as well as lower hazard surface coating materials finding broader application.
