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 B3027 with national classifications — the European Waste Catalogue inside the EU, and EPA RCRA codes for US imports and exports.

B3011Plastic waste destined for recycling in an environmentally sound manner and almost free from contamination: single non-halogenated polymers (PE, PP, PS, ABS, PET, PC, polyethers), cured resins, named fluorinated polymers, and PE/PP/PET mixtures destined for separate recycling. Replaced B3010 under the plastic waste amendments, effective 1 January 2021 B3020Paper, paperboard and paper product wastes: unbleached or corrugated paper and paperboard, paper from bleached chemical pulp, paper from mechanical pulp (newspapers, journals), and unsorted scrap B3026Waste from pre-treatment of composite packaging for liquids, not containing Annex I materials to a hazardous extent: non-separable plastic fraction; non-separable plastic-aluminium fraction B3030Textile wastes: silk, wool, cotton, flax, hemp, jute, sisal, coconut, abaca, ramie and man-made fibre wastes; worn clothing and used textile articles; used rags and scrap twine B3035Waste textile floor coverings and carpets B3040Rubber wastes: waste and scrap of hard rubber (e.g. ebonite) and other rubber wastes, excluding those specified elsewhere B3050Untreated cork and wood waste: wood waste and scrap (whether or not agglomerated in logs, briquettes, pellets or similar); cork waste, crushed, granulated or ground B3060Wastes from agro-food industries, provided not infectious: wine lees, dried and sterilized vegetable waste, degras, bone and horn-core waste, fish waste, cocoa shells, and other named agro-food wastes

Full B list

Where can a B3027 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.
