International shipment of waste
Companies that import or export waste to, from or through the Netherlands can turn to the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate , EVOA Waste Management Department.
The Waste Management Department implements EEC Regulation 1013/2006 on shipments of waste within, into and out of the European Union. You must comply with the Waste Shipments Regulation if you wish to import waste from, export waste to or transport waste through a European Union member state. The Regulation sets out the procedures for cross-border shipments of waste. One of the possible procedures is that a permit is required. The type of permit depends on the nature of the waste that you wish to transport across the border, the method of waste processing and the country of destination. To acquire this permit you can send a notification of the proposed waste shipments to the Waste Management Department.
