Transboundary Movements of Hazardous
Wastes at the Interface of Environment and Trade
Environment and Trade Series
In 1989, environmental concerns led to the adoption of the Basel Convention
on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their
Disposal. This publication outlines some of the facts about the international
hazardous waste trade, addresses the issue in the context of sustainable
industrial activity in all countries. It also discusses the Basel Convention
and looks at some aspects of the reconciliation of environmental and trade
objectives in the regulation of the international hazardous waste trade.
