BIR asks members for input by October 9 on EU draft metal-waste export list
The Bureau of International Recycling has urged its members to check whether their destination markets are covered by the European Commission's draft list of non-OECD countries authorized to receive certain non-hazardous metal waste from the bloc starting May 21, 2027, and to submit input by October 9 so BIR can prepare a consolidated industry response to the Commission's September 18-October 16 public consultation. Only five of the 24 countries and territories that applied would be authorized to receive metal waste under the current draft.
