What makes transporting waste more profitable than transporting ordinary freight
You know it all too well. You're on your way with your goods to a region where good return loads are hard to come by. It's midday, you wait for the forwarder to send another dispatch. Hours pass and the car is still stuck. Eventually you get a call that you don't have another load until the next day, so you look for a car park to start pausing. Another car also leaves, but is heading in a different direction. You ask the driver where he is going and hear that he has waste to pick up 200 kilometres away. You're surprised how this is possible, and he says the company has a permit to transport such materials, so he doesn't wait for hours. Sound reasonable? Next time you might be the one to leave first. Here's...

Mercury dispute. An EU step in the right direction
The European Union has decided on dental amalgam: it has banned its use in children, pregnant women and nursing mothers. Mercury still remains Unfortunately, mercury will be with us for years to come. But there will be much less of it. Much now depends on the individual EU Member States. It remains to be seen whether the health of their citizens is important to them. For the time being, the European Union has banned the use of amalgam in those most exposed to toxic heavy metals - children, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.Hanna Schudy Decisions at EU level European civil society influenced in early December a preliminary agreement between the European Parliament, the European Commission and the Council of the Union...

Used engine oil: how to turn a problem into a valuable resource?
On a day-to-day basis, we are unlikely to think about what happens to the oil we pour out in a restaurant after a fry-up or change during car maintenance. However, every drop matters - if inappropriately managed, it can become a danger to the environment and, if well stored, a valuable resource. Used engine oil, industrial oil or cooking oil is a topic worth looking into. And that is exactly what we will do in this article. Old Europe, new challenges - the continent's oil balance sheet Millions of tonnes of waste oil are generated in Europe, and the scale and nature of the waste varies greatly depending on the source. Engine and industrial oils dominate quantitatively, while cooking oil (UCO) is gaining...

Waste transport permit - safe transport in practice
Before you set off with a load of waste, make sure you have the necessary documents. This way, you won't be surprised by an inspection, you won't lose your unloading window and you won't waste money on downtime. That's why it's worth starting with the basics: a waste transport permit, the right route document and consistent data in all files. These are simple steps that have a real impact on your transports. Why does a waste transport permit matter? Because it puts your responsibilities in order. When you have a set of authorisations, you reduce financial (fines, stoppages), operational (nervous rebooking of loading/unloading slots) and reputational (missed deadlines with partners) risks. What's more, control is faster and scheduled loads will be picked up on time. The basic concepts that ...

Your BDO, our responsibility - end-to-end service for companies
BDO is the register that determines the legality of the waste cycle. Obligations derive from the role, as the generator, collector or transporter accounts for differently than the processor. However, everyone has to take care of the correct entry and its updating, and some - in addition - have to keep the KPOs up to date and report annually. Negligence quickly turns into administrative decisions, fines and stoppages. It is therefore better to act in advance. Handling BDO for companies on our side is a solution that reduces the risk of penalties. Before you go any further - why it even matters Not every company knows that it should be listed in the BDO register. Some have an account set up, but...

Bulgaria and Romania in the Schengen area from 1 January 2025. How will this affect waste transport?
For the country, joining the Schengen area means the abolition of border controls at internal borders with other Member States. This facilitates the free movement of people, goods, services and capital. For transport companies, this means less paperwork and faster deliveries. And will waste hauliers feel the changes when the Romanian and Bulgarian borders are opened to them from 1 January?
