Shipments of green-listed waste (GLW) for recovery do not require a notification or an authority consent within EU and OECD. The aim of the Nordic Working Group for Circular Economy (NCE) study was to gather information about how GLW exports are reported in the participating Nordic countries and in the selected reference countries and to suggest improvements for data collection systems. The study is based on interviews and screening of publicly available information on the procedures and information on GLW shipments in Denmark, Finland, Åland, Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden and selected reference countries: Ireland, Northern Ireland and Slovenia. Three alternative on-line reporting systems for the Nordic countries have been identified.
