Digitalisation of waste shipment procedures is one of the key deliverables of the new Waste Shipment Regulation, as it will facilitate shipments of waste, notably between EU Member States, ensuring that waste is shipped to the best option for its treatment while maintaining a proper level of monitoring.
For that reason, the European Commission is working intensively to develop a system for the electronic submission and exchange of information and documents related to shipments of waste.
The Digital Waste Shipment System (DIWASS) will be used for document and information exchange from 21 May 2026.
