| | National Working Group on Chemical Waste; Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) | Explanation:
I would be more inclined to say: National Working Group on Chemical Waste
With regard to KGA, I tend to disagree. "Klein gevaarlijk afval" refers to household waste that contains chemical substances that are harmful to health and the environment, for example because it contains lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium or organic solvents.
In English, these are commonly referred to as "Household Hazardous Waste" (HHW) (and in some instances are also referred to as "domestic hazardous waste") |
