How does the OECD control the shipment of hazardous waste between Member countries?
On March 30, 1992, the OECD passed a decision that applies to transboundary movements of waste destined for recovery operations between OECD Member countries (“Decision of the Council C(92)39/Final Concerning the Control of Transfrontier Movements of Waste Destined for Recovery”). The 1992 Decision provides a framework for OECD Member countries to control transboundary movement of recoverable waste in an environmentally sound manner. For more information on subsequent Council decisions on the shipment of waste please visit the OECD Control System for waste recovery .
