Defra updates plastic waste export rules to non-OECD countries
A regulatory amendment to the government’s International Waste Shipment regulations means some ‘green list’ plastic waste can be exported to non-OECD countries.
The amendment yesterday (29 July) comes after Defra carried out a ‘write around’ consultation process to agree the controls required by non-OECD competent authorities for ‘green list’ plastic classed as B3011.
Defra wrote to stakeholders about the change in legislation, which was effective from 29 July
As part of this process competent authorities could indicate if they wished to apply additional local controls.
B3011 only applies to plastic waste destined for recycling in an “environmentally sound manner that is almost free from contamination and other types of waste”.
