Basel Convention to require informed consent for e-waste exports

New amendments to the Basel Convention will establish new definitions of hazardous and non-hazardous electronic waste, ensuring that these two categories of e-waste will either be banned from trade, or at a minimum, require notification by the exporting country and consent by the importing country prior to export. The legislative changes were approved at the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Basel Convention (BC COP15).
