Road transport of waste is one of the most demanding sectors of logistics. Transport companies are confronted every day with the risk of an accident during the transport of loads with varying degrees of damage to the environment. Road statistics show that proper preparation of the driver and logistics management personnel significantly reduces the negative effects of incidents. A professional approach to safety protects not only...

How to effectively prepare a company for rigorous inspections in waste transport? We look at the powers of services such as ITD, WIOŚ or KAS and analyse the requirements for BDO documentation and the SENT system. The text points out the key technical and formal aspects, the observance of which avoids severe administrative penalties and downtime in the logistics chain. Supervisory authorities: Who controls waste transport? Transport ...
Many businesses believe that waste management ends when the waste is handed over. A signed waste transfer card gives a sense of security. However, in practice, this is only the beginning of the responsibility. If the installation does not act in accordance with the decision or passes the waste on without control, the problem may come back to the generator. Moreover, joint and several liability is not a theoretical concept. Authorities apply it in...
By 15 March, entities on the BDO register must submit an annual report. This deadline sets off a wave of nervous activity every year. Many entrepreneurs only then analyse whether they have kept their waste records correctly. In practice, the problem often starts earlier. A company registers with BDO in 2025 or 2026, but had already been conducting waste activities before then. The entry itself ...
DIWASS and the price of an in-house implementation is a topic worth breaking down. A stand-alone implementation usually costs more because it requires trial-and-error testing of solutions. The support of a consultant, for example, allows you to sort out documents and processes from the outset and thus reduce indirect costs. If your aim is precisely to implement a system quietly in your company, without...
The DIWASS system has not yet come into force and is already provoking clear reactions among companies and industry organisations. Questions are being raised as to whether the new tool will actually tidy up the market for cross-border waste shipments or whether it will rather change the way reporting and controls are carried out. This is why the problems with the implementation of DIWASS are becoming one of the more frequently discussed topics in the waste and logistics community today. No...
Road transport through Hungary has for several years been subject to much stricter formal control than before. One of the key surveillance tools is the BiREG notification. For many hauliers, this is still an obscure or downplayed topic. Meanwhile, for the Hungarian authorities, it is one of the first sources of information during a roadside check or an inspection at the shipper's premises. A mistake in the BiREG declaration...
The DIWASS system in 2026 is one of the biggest changes in waste transport documentation in the EU in years. From 21 May 2026, it will become the mandatory channel for electronic information exchange for shipments within the EU. It will cover both the notification procedure for hazardous waste and Annex VII for those on the so-called „green list”. In this article, you will find...
If you are applying for a veterinary number for UPPZ transport, treat the Veterinary Inspection check as an audit of your work organisation. The inspector will primarily verify three things: whether you can demonstrate the traceability of the transport (what, where it is coming from and where it is going), whether you have hygiene rules in place (cleaning and disinfection with records) and whether the documents are consistent and kept up to date. If...
