Egypt’s Waste Management Law Sets Conditions for Hazardous Exports

Egypt’s Waste Management Regulation Law No. 202 of 2020 sets conditions for exporting hazardous materials and waste outside the country.

The provisions place these exports within a legal framework, making shipments subject to the requirements laid down in the law.

The scope described covers both hazardous materials and hazardous waste, rather than waste alone. The conditions concern their movement beyond the borders of the Arab Republic of Egypt.

The available summary does not specify the individual export requirements or detail any rules governing imports. It therefore does not establish which approvals or documents would be needed for a particular shipment.
