The Shifting EU Export Framework

The EU is transitioning from permissive to authorized-only waste exports. Here's how we stay ahead.

May 2026

DIWASS Launch

Mandatory digital filing of all Annex VII documents. Paper retired. Our operations are fully digital-ready.

  • Digital Annex VII filing capability
  • Real-time shipment tracking
  • Paperless documentation end-to-end
Nov 2026

Plastic Ban & Approved List

Total ban on plastic waste exports to non-OECD. Our B3040 classification keeps us clear.

  • All materials coded B3040 (rubber), not 070213 (plastic)
  • Malaysia highly likely on EU Approved List
  • Technical data sheets emphasize rubber composition
May 2027

Audit Deadline

Exports only to facilities passing independent EU-standard environmental audit. We are preparing.

  • Facility audit preparation underway
  • Environmental monitoring operational
  • Ready for independent assessment
Critical

The Coding Trap

Materials using EWC 070213 face automatic export blocks from Nov 2026. We exclusively use B3040.

  • Exclusive Basel B3040 coding
  • No plastic waste cross-contamination
  • Invoices emphasize unvulcanized rubber nature
