BIR Underscores Significance of Free Trade in Recyclable Materials

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): In a recent position paper, the Bureau of International Recycling (BIR) emphasized the vital link between sustainability and free trade in recyclables.

The substantial harm that trade barriers create to the worldwide flow of recyclable materials was emphasized by the international recycling trade association. It advised governments everywhere to refrain from enacting laws that might impede the sale of recycled materials. Such activities might undermine sustainability initiatives and prevent the development of a circular economy.

The position paper stated that in a sustainable and competitive global economy, the BIR is steadfast in its commitment to promoting materials recycling and the free and fair trading of recycled materials. It stated that recycled materials will remain important in the years to come and have long played a crucial part in global manufacturing supply chains.

Free and fair trade rules, according to BIR, are essential to the smooth operation of the global recycling sector, which is estimated to process more than 600 million tonnes of recycled materials annually. It demanded that the recycling sector be fairly represented in forums that address policy issues that could affect the operations of recyclers.
