The transport of hazardous waste is one of the most demanding tasks in logistics. It not only requires the haulier to have specialised equipment, but also to strictly comply with regulations. However, not all waste must be treated equally. Indeed, some are particularly difficult to transport due to their characteristics. In this article, we will look at waste,...
On 31 January 2025, new rules for declaring shipments to the UK come into force. At issue is the obligation to submit an ENS (Entry Summary Declaration) for goods entering the Islands. This change has huge implications for the transport and logistics industry, affecting hauliers and exporters. In this article, we explain what an ENS declaration is, who it applies to and...
According to EU reports, more than a third of the waste generated in Europe is construction and demolition waste. Some of their components have a high raw material value, while others - although they may have a lower value - can still be easily recycled into new products or materials.

As a result, only the haulier profits, getting rid of the cargo and the responsibility, which he passes on to the carrier. Why do these situations continue to ...
Estonia, as a dynamically developing Baltic country, plays an important role in international waste trade, including ferrous scrap. An analysis of the 2022-2023 data provides an understanding of the reasons for its exports and the main shipping destinations. Exact data on Estonia's annual ferrous scrap production in 2022-2023 are not directly available from public statistics. However, considering the ...
According to the Statistical Portal, citing data from the Chief Inspectorate of Environmental Protection, 56 permits were issued in 2021 for the import of waste into Poland from EU countries.

Recycling used tyres is difficult but necessary. All the more so as, according to statistics, nearly 300 million tonnes of this waste are dumped in the EU every year. Unfortunately, only less than 13% of it is recycled. How are we doing with tyre recycling and how do we compare to other EU countries? What is tyre recycling? Recycling...
The lack of experienced drivers capable of handling the supply chain in many industries is not a new problem. It was signalled by hauliers' organisations several years ago. At the time, attempts were made to plug the gaps by hiring drivers from across the eastern border. However, this was a temporary solution, as the problem is growing again. How will it affect (or is it already affecting) the waste industry? And what...
