between interim and non-interim operations.“There could be a massive problem if the wrong judgements are made,” warned Mr Bartley. Using the example of the direct re-roll- ing of metal recovered from ship dismantling, he made the general point:“Most recycling is done mechanically.” An urgent call for information from plastic recyclers was made by Bartley because of the new Basel Convention plas- tic waste listings coming into force at the start of next year. Companies were asked to provide him with specifications and standards of plastic wastes that may explain phrases such as “almost free from contamination and other types of wastes” and “almost exclusively” of a particular polymer. Also, information on sampling methods was requested, as well as photos of plastic waste, including as collected: PE, PP, PS,ABS, PET, PC, polyethers, FEP, PFA,MFA, PVF and PVDF; resins; and mixtures of only PE, PP and PET. The webinar also featured an update on the EU’s revision of its Waste Shipment Regulations, for which a new propos- al is scheduled to emerge in the spring of 2021. Its three main objectives are to: streamline the functioning of the EU’s internal market; restrict exports of EU waste and guar- antee any such shipments are managed in an environmen- tally sound manner; and to improve the prevention of illegal shipments of waste. Julia Blees, Senior Policy Officer at the European Recycling Industries’ Confederation (EuRIC), argued that greater use of fast-track notifications would help toward achieving the first of these aims.There was also a need, she said, for regu- lations to distinguish between unprocessed and processed wastes, adding that access to global markets was “crucial” for the latter. She also called for a distinction to be made be- tween shipment transgressions that were simply the result of an administrative error and “unlawful criminal offenses committed intentionally or with serious negligence”. Fellow guest speaker Jordi Costa, Technical Secretary at Gremi de Recuperació de Catalunya, outlined his organiza- tion’s development of a packaging recyclability certificate based on an evaluation of everything from residues in ma- terial arriving at processors’ installations and the availability of local collection services to the market value of the final recyclate. Under the scheme, packaging can be awarded a recyclability percentage and/or a star rating, with five stars representing recyclability above 85 percent and one star de- noting 20-45 percent. According to Costa, the aim had been to devise a “reliable” and“robust”system in which consumers had confidence and in which packaging producers would wish to participate.
