Green liquor dregs (GLD) are a major waste of the pulp and paper industry, and their correct classification is important to finding alternatives to landfill disposal. In the European Union, the methodology to determine the hazard property HP 14 (“ecotoxic”) is under discussion. Although biological tests are likely more representative of wastes’ environmental behavior, there are still no official guidelines on procedures, and ecotoxicity classification relies on the chemical composition. This work aimed to evaluate the ecotoxicity of GLD to determine HP 14. The assessment comprised a chemical analysis (using ClassifyMyWaste software) and a battery of biotests targeting aquatic ecosystems (Lepidium sativum, Aliivibrio fischeri, Raphidocelis subcapitata, Lemna minor, and Daphnia magna). The chemical analysis denoted GLD as a “Possible Hazard,” while the battery of biotests showed high ecotoxic effects for three out of five organisms, the most sensitive being Lepidium sativum, Lemna minor, and Daphnia magna. ...
