EVOA & DIWASS compliance
Cross-border waste shipments in the EU are regulated under EVOA (Regulation EU 2024/1157). Briso EcoTrade has compliance built into every cross-border deal.
What is EVOA?
EVOA is the European regulation governing the shipment of waste across borders within the EU (and to/from third countries). It distinguishes between:
- Green list waste — non-hazardous materials (e.g. clean plastics, paper, metals) that can be shipped under simplified procedures using Annex VII documentation.
- Amber/red list waste — hazardous or contaminated materials requiring prior written notification and consent from all competent authorities involved.
Most secondary raw materials traded on Briso EcoTrade fall under the green list. EURAL codes are required on all listings.
DIWASS — mandatory from 21 May 2026
⏰ Deadline: 21 May 2026. All cross-border EU waste shipments must be submitted digitally via DIWASS. Registration is open from 21 April 2026 at the European Commission portal.
DIWASS (Digital Waste Shipment System) replaces paper-based Annex VII documents. From 21 May 2026, all operators involved in cross-border waste shipments must register and submit documentation electronically.
- Briso EcoTrade acts as Block A intermediary — we fill in the producer/exporter and waste description fields on your behalf.
- Carriers fill in Block B before departure.
- Recipients confirm recovery in Block C.
Transition period: Paper Annex VII remains valid as fallback until end of 2026. DIWASS is the primary required route from 21 May.
