Position Paper | Proposed integration of Basel e-waste entries into the OECD Decision

The European Recycling Industries’ Confederation (EuRIC) is pleased to share the views of the recycling industry about the anticipated negotiations among OECD Members on the possible integration of the new Basel Convention e-waste entries1 into the OECD Decision2 .

Through its Members, EuRIC represents the vast majority of e-waste recycling facilities in Europe and therefore has a strong interest in providing comments about the incorporation of the newly adopted Basel Convention entries into the OECD Decision which will enter into force on 1 January 2025 and concern all shipments of e-waste (new entries Y49 and A1181) as well as the objection raised by Japan on 15 August 2022.
