Transborder Shipment of Waste WEE icon

Essential to get the Circular Economy moving

Putting the principle of the Circular Economy into action requires the physical flow of end-of-life material to state-of-the-art recovery facilities. However, such are not yet available in all countries. Moreover, producers increasingly prefer to repair or dismantle products of their own brands in specialized recycling facilities. For this end, e-waste and repair goods need to be shipped across borders. Such reverse logistics procedures have to comply with international regulations on transboundary movement of waste, such as the multi-lateral Basel Convention or the European Regulation (EU) 2024/1157 on shipment of waste.
