The regulation (article 41, 42 & 43) states that the non OECD countries (such as India) which intend to import green listed waste or certain wastes or mixtures of waste shall submit a request to the European Commission by 21st Feb 2025 indicating their willingness to receive those specific wastes or mixtures of waste and demonstrate their ability to treat the imported waste in environmentally sound manner.
The categories of waste that can be imported from the EU have been provided below;
