FEAD cites pitfalls of e-scrap policy

recycling today – 11 November 2022 – The Brussels-based European Waste Management Association (FEAD) and the European Electronics Recyclers Association (EERA), based in the Netherlands, say Basel Convention e-scrap amendments and their implementation means it is “crucial to bring the need for clear and efficient shipment rules to the negotiation table.” The two groups say there is too great a likelihood a lack of clarity will lead to “nnecessarily heavy, costly, and lengthy procedures” which they say are “trade impediments to circular business models, which should be based on open and safe markets.”
