Dear colleagues,

The OECD Secretariat is pleased to announce the release of a new report on plastic waste trade monitoring.

This report is part of an annual update examining the effects of international regulations on the trade in plastic waste and scrap. The current iteration presents updated insights by incorporating newly available data for 2023 and reviews recent developments in global trade patterns. The analysis delves into export and import behaviours among OECD Member Countries and their trade relationships with non-OECD Member Countries. It further examines the potential role of enhanced regulatory measures in shaping these developments and impacting overall trade volumes.
