In recent years, several countries have introduced stricter restrictions on waste imports, prompting European operators to review their commercial strategies. This has led to growing interest in alternative markets, particularly in areas where demand for secondary raw materials is increasing.

At the same time, there has been an evolution in the type of materials exported. There is growing demand for selected, traceable materials that meet high quality standards and can be quickly reintroduced into production cycles. The focus is no longer solely on disposal, but on the real valorisation of the material.

Logistics also plays an increasingly central role. Optimising routes, times and modes of transport has become essential to maintaining competitiveness, reducing costs and limiting the environmental impact of export operations.

In this changing landscape, understanding global trends allows companies to anticipate changes and make more informed decisions. Relying on partners with experience in international trade allows companies to manage regulatory complexity and seize the best opportunities offered by new markets.
