Types of waste covered by the Regulation on Shipments of Waste ((EU) 2024/1157).

Government proposal to Parliament for an Act to amend the Waste Act and related acts

The proposal implements the reformed EU Regulation on shipments of waste. It is implemented in the Åland Islands

through so-called form-legislation, which means that the rest of Finland’s regulations are applicable in the Åland Islands.
In addition to the provisions of Article 11 of the Regulation on Shipments of Waste, the proposal would prohibit the
shipments of waste to Finland for disposal in a landfill. In addition, landfilling after possible temporary landfilling after
transport would also be prohibited.
