Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) export accepted by Danish EPA
The Danish Environment Protection Agency (EPA) has today accepted Australia’s Duly Reasoned Request to export Orica’s HCB waste from Botany in Sydney to Denmark for safe and environmentally sound destruction. This formal acceptance by the Danish EPA is the next stage in a process in which the Minister for Environment Protection, Heritage and the Arts will now make a decision on approval of an Export Permit under the Hazardous Waste (Regulation of Imports and Exports) Act which implements the Basel Convention.
