Indian recyclers' body seeks government intervention on EU waste ban proposal

A leading Indian recyclers’ group representing small and mid-sized firms has asked the Indian government to step in regarding India’s proposed exclusion from European Union metal waste exports, according to a letter reviewed by Reuters. The request was sent as India faces an EU waste ban proposal that would limit certain shipments. The group’s position reflects concern that the change could hurt recyclers that depend on access to European metal waste streams. Reuters reported the matter from New Delhi on Sept. 23, citing the letter and identifying reporting and editing by Neha Arora and Louise Heavens.
