Moller-Maersk A\/S has agreed to return an estimated 816 metric tonnes of suspected hazardous waste to Albania instead of delivering it to Thailand, following pressure from environmental groups. The decision comes after the Basel Action Network (BAN) raised the alarm about two Maersk-chartered ships carrying what is believed to be toxic steel furnace dust collected from pollution control filters. As previously reported, BAN had warned of the illegal export of this waste from Europe to Asia, urging authorities to intercept the vessels.<\/p>\n<p>Environmental groups are calling on Singaporean authorities to detain and test the containers from both ships before allowing their return to Albania. They are also urging Maersk and MSC to coordinate with Singaporean authorities on sampling and testing the waste, and to provide written assurances of the direct return of the containers to Albania.<\/p>\n<p>While this decision marks a significant victory for environmental groups, they are now calling on Maersk to address a similar situation in China. BAN has requested that Maersk return 115 containers of comparable waste that have been sitting in the Port of Nansha, Guangzhou City, since April 2024. These containers were blocked by Fengcheng customs after tests revealed high levels of lead and other contaminants.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/resource.co\/article\/maersk-return-suspected-toxic-waste-europe\">Resource<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-575\/\">Maersk to return suspected toxic waste to Europe<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,10367,8145],"class_list":["post-133171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-maersk","tag-toxic-waste"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133171"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133171\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
