EuRIC secures Commission flexibility on WSR, urges action from non-OECD countries still at risk

EuRIC, the voice of Europe’s recycling industries warmly welcomes the successul notification of 24 non-OECD countries to be approved as export destinations for EU recycled materials under new EU waste shipment rules. However, with nearly 150 non-OECD countries having failed to submit their notification on time, an automatic export ban by 21 May 2027 remains a serious risk. EuRIC urges them to act quickly to ensure that international trade of recycled materials keeps running smoothly.
