Introduction
Innovation in nanotechnology is linked with commercial developments that use nanomaterials to deliver
new products or services to the market. In recent years, nanotechnology has moved from the research
laboratory to the manufacturing plant and into consumer products. Manufactured nano-objects (MNOs)
can be incorporated in products to enhance their performance and create new properties. In the process
of making such products, using them or disposing them at the end of their life, MNOs may be released and
come in contact with humans and the environment. As of yet, MNO producers and the scientific
community do not have a complete understanding of whether nanomaterials, particularly MNOs pose a
risk to the health of workers, consumers and the environment. It is thought that some MNOs may pose a
hazard to human health and the environment.
Nanomaterials include nano-objects and nanostructured materials. Nano-objects may be naturally
occurring, incidental [CEN ISO/TS 80004-1:2015, 2.10], engineered or manufactured
[CEN ISO/TS 80004-1:2015, 2.9]. In general, naturally occurring and incidental nano-objects are emitted
into the atmosphere by natural process or as a by-product of a process (for example welding fume,
combustion fume). Engineered nano-objects (ENOs) or MNOs, a very specific class of nanomaterials, are
sometimes incorporated in products to achieve new or enhanced / improved properties, which are only
attainable with nanotechnology. In some cases, they may be substituted for highly toxic substances, may
lead to waste reduction, or may extend the longevity of a product.
MNOs may have distinct physicochemical properties as a result of their nanoscale formulation. Thus, they
may exhibit hazards and risks to human health and to the environment distinct from those presented by
non-nanoscale materials. There is therefore a need for specific guidance on the assessment and
management of the human health and environmental hazards and risks associated with the management
and disposal of waste from the manufacturing and processing of manufactured nano-objects
(WMP-MNOs).
The manufacturing of MNOs and their incorporation in products may involve multi-stage processes,
including primary synthesis, precipitation, sorting, chemical or physical separation and purification, as
well as incorporation in intermediate products.
Each process in the manufacturing chain may generate process wastes, residues and diffuse release of
MNOs or their aggregates and agglomerates. Process wastes may result from:
— making more or buying more than necessary (for example overproduction, large batches or excess
items that remain in stock);
— making batches that are not at the correct specification or requirements of the customer; and
— making batches with expired specifications or requirements.
Diffuse release means the (unintended) release of chemicals to air, groundwater and soil, which occur in
a diffuse way due to processes such as migration or dispersing, and which should be avoided. Diffuse
emissions can be controlled via, for example, waste collection and adequate waste treatment, where
MNOs will be either eliminated or accumulated in a controlled system.
In general, WMP-MNOs are expected to be in a powder form, in a liquid suspension and /or contaminated
items. Nano-objects resulting from the manufacturing and processing of MNOs can be classified in two
categories:
— nano-objects having the same physical and chemical identity as the final intended nano-object
production batch, which are generated during manufacturing and processing;
— nano-objects being production residues or being the result of a non-conformed batch production
(production refuse). Their physico-chemical characteristics may be known, partially known or
unknown due to unintended transformation processes.
Powder-form and liquid WMP-MNOs can be composed purely of nano-objects and non-nanoscale
particles.
The industry involved in nanotechnology and nanomaterials is a linear network as illustrated in Figure 1.
It involves organizations ranging from raw material producers (suppliers of MNOs), modifiers (producers
of semi-products obtained by modifying the composition or the surface of MNOs), to formulators and
users of nanomaterials (who incorporate MNOs or semi-products in finished products, resulting in
nanostructured materials or nanocomposites).

Disposal routes for non-nanoscale materials are well known and well-regulated in all EU member states
by national and the EU directives. It is not the intention of this document to lead on this. This document
serves as a guideline to the safe waste management of WMP-MNOs and provides guidelines for all waste
management activities from the manufacturing and processing of MNOs as illustrated in Figure 1 by the
dotted lines.
