Quality management
On April 19, in Brussels, the Bureau of International Recycling published its "Tools for Quality Management", which is the first Quality Management System to incorporate "End-of-Waste" procedures complementary to the Council of the European Union's Regulation N. 333/2011.
The full book can be downloaded from the BIR website: http://www.bir.org/publications/tools-for-qm/
The BIR "Tools for Quality Management" have a dual purpose, not only providing the necessary information for companies to implement an ISO Quality Management System, but also incorporating the EU's "End-of-Waste" procedures. However, those recyclers not under the jurisdiction of the EU may choose whether or not to use these End-of-Waste quality elements dependent on their own assessment of their added value to their company's Quality Management System.
