Nigeria has joined 23 other non-OECD countries in requesting approval from the European Commission to import non-hazardous waste from the EU. This aligns with the EU’s new Waste Shipments Regulation, which aims to tighten waste export rules and will ban plastic waste exports by November 2026.
To qualify, applicant countries must prove they can manage waste in an environmentally responsible manner. The EU will assess these requests and finalize a list of approved countries by November 2026. From May 2027, only listed countries will be allowed to import waste from the EU.
Other applicants include India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Egypt, and Morocco. Countries that missed the February 2025 deadline can still apply, but approval before the first list is finalized is not guaranteed.
