The pillars of the regulation are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensure <strong>full traceability<\/strong> of waste from its origin to its final destination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strengthen <strong>environmental controls<\/strong>, avoiding illegal or poorly managed transfers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limit the <strong>export of waste to non-OECD countries<\/strong> that do not meet stringent environmental standards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Implement a <strong>single digital platform<\/strong> for all procedures related to the shipment of waste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), demand for these materials could increase fivefold or more by 2040 if the current pace of transport electrification continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is affected by this regulation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><br>To all companies which:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Generate, transport, trade or manage waste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They carry out <strong>cross-border shipments of waste<\/strong>, both within the EU and to third countries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your company is part of the ScrapAd network or exports waste, this regulation affects you directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key changes you should know about<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Mandatory digital platform<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the date of entry into force, <strong>all transfers should be managed through a European digital platform<\/strong>. This is the end of paper or mixed procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Advantage<\/strong>: greater agility, efficiency and document control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Challenge<\/strong>: need to adapt internal processes to new digital tools.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Restriction of exports to non-OECD countries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From 2026, the EU will only allow waste to be exported to non-OECD countries if they <strong>demonstrate compliance with strict environmental criteria<\/strong>. Otherwise, exports may be <strong>prohibited directly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Audits and enhanced documentation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exporting companies should ensure that waste sent outside the EU is<strong> handled in a sustainable way<\/strong>. This will require<strong> regular audits and more documentation<\/strong> on waste treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Greater coordination between Member States<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Authorities in EU countries will be better connected to each other, sharing information in real time to <strong>detect irregularities, fraud or malpractice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can your company do now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From <strong>ScrapAd<\/strong>, we recommend you to anticipate this changes with these key actions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\ud83d\udd0d <strong>Digitize the traceability<\/strong> of your waste: be sure to document its origin, treatment and final destination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\udf0e <strong>Check your export markets<\/strong>, especially if you work with countries outside the OECD.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83d\udcbb <strong>Choose platforms that are already aligned with the regulations<\/strong>, such as ScrapAd.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83e\udde0 <strong>Train your team<\/strong> to understand and apply new administrative and environmental procedures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does ScrapAd help you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>ScrapAd <\/strong>we connect companies that buy and sell waste and recyclable raw materials, offering:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u2705 <strong>100% digital processes<\/strong> for greater agility and transparency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2705 <strong>Full traceability and documentary control.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2705 Alignment with the principles of Regulation (EU) 2024\/1157.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2705 Advice to avoid errors or penalties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to our technology, you can operate safely and in accordance with the new regulations, reducing the risk of non-compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you have doubts?
