Regulation No 1257/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 November 2013 on ship recycling and amending Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 and Directive 2009/16/EC
As most large vessels contain hazardous materials such as asbestos, PCBs, TBT, and CFCs, their export to non-OECD countries for recycling has been prohibited under the EU Waste Shipment Regulation (WSR), the adaptation of the Basel International Convention and its Ban amendment in the EU. However, economic incentives, the high mobility of ships and insufficient recycling capacity in the OECD have led to most of the recycling to take place in Asia, often in substandard conditions. |
