Euric demands extened WSR deadlines to avert recycling market collapse

Under the new rules, non-OECD countries must submit a request by 21 February 2025 to be able to continue importing recycled materials classifed as waste from the EU (Annex VIII - WSR). If no request is submitted by that deadline, a blanket ban on EU exports of recycled materials to those nearly 150 countries will take effect by 21 May 2027.
