Recital 24

(24) Laboratory analysis and experimental treatment trials are often a necessary tool for assessing the nature of waste and its suitability for recovery and disposal operations. Sound and innovative waste management operations are key to ensuring the environmentally sound management of waste and to establishing circular economy business models in the Union. The shipment of waste for such laboratory analysis and experimental treatment trials should be facilitated by not subjecting it to all the applicable procedures. Moreover, to deliver accurate results, a sufficiently significant quantity of waste should be allowed to be shipped for the purpose of laboratory analysis and experimental treatment trials for shipments within the Union, because, inter alia, there are waste management standards and practices that are more developed in the Union compared to most third countries.
