The situation is as follows: You have excess old documents, cardboard boxes in your company or you have generated paper waste as a result of your production activities. You want to recycle the waste paper in a responsible manner, so you look for a collector to take care of it. But the problem is that in the world of waste legislation, nothing happens 'just'. Even if you are donating 'just' plain paper,...
Spain is one of the key countries for European waste logistics. It has an extensive recycling and sorting infrastructure, which attracts hauliers from all over the European Union. However, transporting waste within this country, when carried out by a company from outside Spain, involves a number of formal requirements. In this article, we outline the rules for waste cabotage....
Sweden is regarded as a role model in waste management. With efficient recycling, incineration with energy recovery and advanced segregation, the country recycles more than 99% of its municipal waste. Only around 1% ends up in landfills. Such an impressive result also comes at a price - there is a shortage of raw material to power the plant. The country's waste sources are not sufficient to keep all... operational.

Waste transport is an area that is regulated differently in each EU country. Although most Member States maintain registers of companies authorised to transport waste, not all of them are publicly accessible. This raises serious problems, especially for waste producers who want to organise their waste shipments quickly and legally. The lack of transparent access to information on hauliers limits ...
The Polish SENT platform is not the only solution in Europe to combat the grey market and illegal transport of so-called sensitive goods. A few years after its launch, also in Romania attention was drawn to the need to supervise the transport of products at risk of tax abuse. The platform Spațiul Privat Virtual (SPV) was established, within which the RO e-Transport system operates, fulfilling...
