Recycling Materials: 8-10 Trucks Monthly Between Latvia and Scandinavia
A Latvian recycling company needed a reliable logistics partner for regular cross-border movement of recyclable materials - plastics, paper, and metals - between Latvia and Scandinavian countries. The volumes are 8-10 FTL trucks per month in both directions, requiring specialized waste transport permits and documentation.
What happened
The recycling company had growing volumes but their previous carrier could not handle the documentation complexity. Waste transport across EU borders requires Annex VII forms, pre-consent notifications, and Basel Convention compliance. Shipments to Norway also need separate EFTA paperwork.
What made it difficult
- 1Annex VII forms and Basel Convention compliance for each shipment
- 2Different regulations for EU (Sweden, Finland) vs EFTA (Norway)
- 3Varīable monthly volumes - 8 to 10 trucks depending on season
- 4Ferry bookings to Scandinavia with hazardous waste classifications
- 5Return loads needed to optimize costs in both directions
How we handled it
We set up a dedicated monthly schedule with pre-booked ferry slots and assigned carriers experienced in waste transport. Our documentation team prepares Annex VII forms, notification documents, and customs declarations as a routine package. Return loads are matched to keep costs efficient. Monthly reporting gives the client full visibility of all movements.
