Addenda and explanation to the Guidelines for self-declaration by disposers published
2025-11-10
On October 7, the Better Biomass Committee of Experts published three addenda supplementing the Self-Declaration Guidelines for Waste and Residue Disposers (two addenda and an explanatory memorandum).
These are the Addendum to Walloon Regulations and the Addendum to German Regulations, which substantiate the view that Walloon and German regulations regarding the registration and reporting of waste and animal manure are recognized as equivalent (paragraphs 2 and 3). It also clarifies that the self-declaration requirement does not apply to waste collected from Walloon and German households (paragraph 4).
These addenda should always be read in conjunction with the full Guidelines for Self-Declaration for Disposers of Waste and Residues, published by Better Biomass in June 2025.
In addition to these addenda, an Explanation on international transport of waste has also been published, which explains that the regulations regarding the cross-border transport of waste in general cannot be considered equivalent to the Better Biomass requirements for the self-declaration.
