Summary

Waste covers a very wide spectrum of discarded materials ranging from municipal, electrical and electronic, industrial and agricultural, to new types including counterfeit pesticides. It also includes anything in size and scale from decommissioned ships, oil or liquid wastes, hundreds of millions of mobile phones to billions of used car tires. The report describes the global illegal waste trade, and offers recommendations for curbing it: strengthening awareness, monitoring and information, strengthening national legislation and enforcement capacities, strengthening international treaties and compliance measures, and finally promoting prevention measures and synergies.
