Sweden: Efforts to counteract illegal waste transports initiated
Processnet, 21 Mar 2017, online:-
Efforts to identify and counteract illegal waste transports have been initiated by the Swedish government in a new national action plan that includes a draft law on waste smuggling. County administrative boards have intentions of strengthening cooperation with police, customs and municipalities. An estimated 50,000 illegal transports take place in northern Sweden alone each year. Due to lack of resources, only 0.08 per thousand of waste transports in the Skåne region are controlled.
Disappearing car parts will be investigated in a separate project, Projekt Bilexport Hamburg.
