Export (shipment) of "green" waste for recovery within the EU

As a company, do you want to transport waste across national borders? Then the provisions of the EC Regulation on shipments of waste apply to you.

All waste for disposal and recovery that is to be shipped across national borders must be notified. The only exception is waste for recovery that is listed in the annexes to the legal basis and is to be shipped within the EU. This exception also applies to the import and partial export of waste for recovery from or to EFTA states (Iceland, Switzerland, Norway and Liechtenstein), to states that have ratified the Basel Convention and, with regard to the waste listed in Annex III, to the contracting states of OECD Council Decision C(2001)107. Only the so-called "general information obligations" apply to this waste.

For the types of waste listed below, the notification procedure does not have to be carried out for certain shipments; instead, the "general information requirements" apply. The completed shipping information form must be carried along with the waste shipment. Furthermore, a contract must be concluded between the person arranging the shipment and the recipient. This contract must be effective at the start of the shipment and fulfill the requirements of the legal basis. If the shipment fails or is illegal, the person initiating the shipment must take back the waste at their own expense or recycle it in some other way. He undertakes to do this in the contract. He also agrees to temporarily store the waste if necessary. It is recommended that the contract is also carried along during transportation.
