B1 — Metal wastes

How B-listed wastes ship

B-listed (Annex IX) wastes destined for recovery move under the general information requirements: an Annex VII document accompanies the shipment and a contract with the recovery facility must be in place — no prior notification within the OECD/EU. Contamination changes everything: if the stream carries hazardous constituents, it falls off the green list and into the amber (notification) procedure.

Shipment paperwork pairs B1190 with national classifications — the European Waste Catalogue inside the EU, and EPA RCRA codes for US imports and exports.

Full B list

Where can a B1190 stream go?

Recognized recovery routes for this waste family, ranked by typical recovery tier. Which route fits depends on your specific stream — composition, volume and region.

Green-channel movement for recovery

High recovery

B-listed waste destined for recovery moves under the green control regime: an Annex VII information document travels with the load instead of a full notification — the fastest compliant route to a recovery facility abroad.

Regulation (EC) 1013/2006 Art. 18 + Annex VII — green control

Direct recovery as a secondary commodity

High recovery

B-list entries are the tradeable recovery commodities — metal scrap, paper, glass, clean plastics — feeding directly into recovery operations R1-R13 at the receiving facility.

Basel Convention Annex IV — recovery operations R1-R13

Contamination screening before shipment

Specialist handling

A B-listed load contaminated with Annex I material to a hazard-relevant degree flips to amber control mid-chain; screening before shipment protects the green-channel status.

Regulation (EC) 1013/2006 Annex V — A/B list classification

These are the typical routes for the B list. Your stream's actual options depend on its composition and where it sits.
