In 2006, Parties to the Basel Convention launched an initiative on EEE. These governments are now at a critical stage of drafting
Technical Guidelines on Transboundary Movements of Electronic and Electrical Waste (E-waste), in Particular Regarding the
Distinction Between Waste and Non-waste (Guidelines). The Guidelines are intended to inform the approach governments will
take toward expanded regulation of international movements of used and end-of-life EEE. The Guidelines will also define the
universe of used EEE that governments are to consider hazardous wastes for purposes of the Convention and its strict trade
controls.
The practical implications of a decision by the Basel Parties to expand the Conventions reach to include used EEE as waste are
significant and include: substantial increases in operational, shipping and compliance costs; new trade and logistical barriers
leading to substantial delays; and, decreased revenue from the resale of used equipment and components. Government-togovernment notice and consent processes governing hazardous waste shipments can take months to complete, leading to
significant asset depreciation costs of 2% or more per month. Additionally, industry estimates that shipping used EEE as nonhazardous waste versus used product increases transport costs by 15-20%; shipment as hazardous waste increases transport
costs by 300%. The cumulative costs to impacted global industries would easily reach into the billions of dollars. Such an
outcome will discourage current re-use and repair activities.
Information Technology Sector Position. The tech sector strongly supports the important work of governments and stakeholders
to improve the collection and environmentally sound recycling of end-of-life equipment. Our members are encouraged by the
recent progress made in the negotiations toward the development of criteria and assurances for distinguishing legitimate
shipments of used goods for reuse (e.g., warranty returns, shipments for repair or root cause analysis and lease returns) from
shipments of e-waste that is improperly claimed to be non-waste.
The IT sector collectively requests that governments support mechanisms that would enhance the Conventions controls
over actual e-waste while avoiding new approaches that threaten to disrupt environmentally sound and economically
beneficial trade flows in used equipment and parts destined for legitimate repair, refurbishment and reuse.
Key Points
The IT sector continues to view legitimate repair, refurbishment and reuse of equipment and parts as critical to reducing the
generation of e-waste, conserving material resources and expanding the ability of all global communities to access information
and communications technology and needed medical equipment.
Governments should ensure that the Guidelines make clear that used equipment and parts managed for continued use are not
wastes that may be subject to the Conventions controls and trade bans. We are confident that assurance mechanisms in
the form of documentation, transparency, and packaging can distinguish legitimate shipments for reuse from illicit shipments
of e-waste.
We continue to view the following legitimate operations as the movement of product (e.g., non-wastes) that should remain
outside any Convention restrictions that may be placed on e-waste:
Conclusion. The tech sector urges the Parties to continue working toward the development of Guidelines that will ensure
the environmentally sound management of used e-waste while also promoting a common understanding among governments
that products shipped, for example, for legitimate servicing, refurbishment, repair and reuse are not wastes. Appropriate
documentation and other assurances are sufficient to verify that used equipment exported for repair and reuse is not e-waste
destined for recycling or disposal.

Dont let the name fool you. There are a couple of big
issues involved that focus on the prevention of food
adulteration through sanitation and temperature control
practices.
If your company is involved in moving food, especially
perishables, there are some new and critical issues
you need to become aware of. The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) is involved in the translation of
the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) into rules
to be used to support federal, state and local food safety
enforcement efforts.

Dont let the name fool you. There are a couple of big issues
involved that focus on the prevention of food adulteration through
sanitation and temperature control practices.
If your company is involved in moving food, especially perishables,
there are some new and critical issues you need to become aware of.
The rules focus on food shippers, carriers and receivers. That pretty
much covers all logistics and every food supply chain link. If your
company moves or causes food to move internationally, interstate or
intrastate by truck or rail you are covered. The FDA estimates some
84,000 companies are involved.
The rules focus a great deal on the shipper (a person who
initiates a shipment of food by motor vehicle or rail vehicle) and
carrier (a person who owns, leases, or is otherwise ultimately
responsible for the use of a motor vehicle or rail vehicle to transport
food (private truck fleets, private fleet truck drivers, contracted
drivers, distributors, leased vehicles). The idea is that the shipper
must prevent adulteration by specifying the correct sanitary and
temperature controlled conditions. Carriers that are hired by the
shipper are then responsible for assuring that the specifications are
met.

At this years RLA Conference & Expo in Las Vegas you may have noticed a
television crew roaming around. The crew was there to capture response to the
conference and make a video that displayed the essence of the Reverse Logistics
Association. They were also filming segments for a new video series in RL Digital
magazine called RLA Rewound. As you view it, you may see some familiar faces. A
big thank you to everyone who took time out from their busy conference schedule
to stop and talk with our reporter. We hope you will share the video with friends
and colleagues as you introduce them to the association and explain what we do
and how we can support them. Stay tuned, because we may be talking to you for
the next series of videos for RLA Rewound.
