17Note that even where low level contamination with Annex I materials initially exists, subsequent processes, including recycling processes,may result in separated fractions containing significantly enhanced concentrations of those Annex I materials.18The status of zinc ash is currently under review and there is a recommendation with the United Nations Conference on Trade andDevelopment (UNCTAD) that zinc ashes should not be dangerous goods."This entry does not include scrap from electrical power generation.20Reuse can include repair, refurbishment or upgrading, but not major reassembly.211n some countries these materials destined for direct re-use are not considered wastes.List B: B2 WASTES CONTAINING PRINCIPALLY INORGANIC CONSTITUENTS, WHICH MAY CONTAINMETALS AND ORGANIC MATERIALS
