The United Nations procured $25.7 billion worth of goods and services in 2024. Sourced from 222 countries.

At IFAT worldwide Munich, the GERMAN AMERICAN CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE IP HOLDINGS INC (AHK USA) and German-Danish Chamber of Commerce (AHK Denmark) brought together procurement representatives from World Food Programme , UNDP , UNIDO, and United Nations Global Service Centre for a session on exactly that question.

We at BlackForest Solutions were invited to speak, represented by Kenjiro Siburian our Tenders Manager that has already delivered UN contracts across multiple regions.

Two days in Jakarta was a good reminder that EPR is not a document problem, it’s an implementation problem.

This week, Aurora Rios represented BlackForest Solutions and supported the SEA-MaP Regional Project’s second technical consultation in Jakarta (3 to 4 February), focused on stress testing the first draft of the plastic packaging EPR Handbook and the outline for the accompanying EPR Toolkit.

The aim was practical, not academic:

->Pressure test what the Handbook and Toolkit need to deliver for real implementation.
->Align on what should be standardised across ASEAN, and what must stay country specific.
->Make sure the tools are usable by the people who will actually run systems, not just approve them.

👉One point kept coming back in different forms: EPR only works when performance metrics, offtake realities, and enforcement are designed together.

Thank you to everyone who contributed technical feedback and hard questions, that’s what turns guidance into something implementable. Thanks to Aneta Zych and Christophe Pautrat of Landbell Group and to KIBUMI (PT Kita Bumi) for local support along with UNOPS The ASEAN Secretariat The World Bank Beatrice Vanek Hadiyan Fariz A., Sharon Rose, and Ainun Asifa. 💚

If you have never managed a cross-border hazardous waste shipment, it looks simple from the outside.

Put it in the right container. Find a transporter. Send it to treatment.

The reality is that the shipment only succeeds if every handover point is designed to survive scrutiny by the generator, the carrier, the competent authorities, and the receiving facility.

That is why shipments fail in the same predictable places:

the waste is labelled correctly, but not classified defensibly

the paperwork is complete, but not aligned with Basel and PIC expectations for that route

the receiving facility’s acceptance criteria changes the moment the waste arrives

the clock runs out while everyone argues over who carries liability

TransFrontier Shipments (TFS) exists for situations where the cost of getting it wrong is higher than the cost of doing it properly.

We own the chain, compliance pathway, documentation, routing, and coordination, through to legally approved final treatment or disposal.

Not sure if your waste is sampled, classified, packaged, or labelled correctly for transport? We support onsite preparation and compliance checks where needed. Find out more and learn about “Partner Onboarding” at TransFrontier Shipments:

IFAT Saudi Arabia 2026 was a strong signal that the market is moving from ambition to implementation.

A highlight for us was Sebastian Frisch coordinating and moderating a panel on modern waste technology under an EPR framework, focused on what works in practice, and what it takes to make systems perform. One point landed clearly: EPR only works when performance metrics, offtake realities, and enforcement are designed together.

Across the week, three themes kept repeating in conversations with operators, authorities, and solution providers:
1. Implementation is now the priority, targets are only credible if they can be operated and enforced. 🏅
2. The biggest risks still sit at the interfaces, classification, handover, documentation, and acceptance criteria. 👈
3. The demand is shifting toward system design, governance, contracting, data, and operational performance, not isolated assets. 📚

Thank you to GreenForest Solutions GmbH our sister company for partnering with us on the ground, our strategic partners in Saudi Arabia Taz Investment and the IFAT Saudi Arabia organizers for the opportunity to contribute and learn. Also a big round of appreciation to the المركز الوطني لإدارة النفايات (موان) | National Center for Waste Management for coordinating the Al-Jarisi, Al-Jumaih and Al-Obaikan factory visits. And huge appreciation to Manuel Gaisser and Beatrice Vanek for representing us and our ethos at the events.

Marine pollution is often framed as “what ends up in the sea.”

This publication zooms out and asks the upstream question: what happens in the river basin before plastic ever reaches the coastline, and where can the system actually stop it?

Developed in the context of the Nile Basin, the report looks at the practical levers that reduce leakage, not just the messaging, including:

1) How plastic and waste escape collection systems along the river and in cities?
2) Which policy and compliance gaps make leakage “normal”?
3) What operational fixes (collection design, enforcement, routing, treatment) reduce leakage in practice?
4) Where interventions have the highest impact for basin and city stakeholders?

The visual attached is a reminder of why upstream work matters: plastic leakage into the Mediterranean is highly concentrated, meaning targeted action in a few places can drive outsized reduction.

If you work on waste systems, policy, EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility), or implementation, this is a grounded framework you can use.

Do you know what the most common hazardous waste compliance problem is.

It is rarely the regulation itself. It is the handover.

One team classifies a stream as non hazardous.
A logistics partner prepares documentation based on that.
A receiving facility applies different acceptance criteria.
And suddenly the real question appears.

Who is right, and who carries the liability.

This is where waste management stops being a checklist and becomes operational decision making. Classification, documentation, incident escalation, and disposal route selection are not separate steps.

They form one chain, and that chain usually breaks at the interfaces between teams and vendors.

In your experience, where does it break most often.

The initial classification call, the documentation and packaging, or the disposal route acceptance.

Cross-border hazardous waste shipments fail for a reason: governance breaks somewhere between classification, permits, packaging, routing, and final treatment.

That is why TransFrontier Shipments (TFS) is built as an end-to end compliance and ex*****on service, not a logistics broker.

What we do, in plain terms:

💡Characterise the waste correctly (sampling and accredited lab analysis)
⛑️Manage the Basel Convention permit process and consent workflow
📚Supervise repackaging and transport readiness under the relevant international standards (IMDG, IATA, RID, ADR)
🚚Coordinate shipment and final treatment through specialised facilities, with full documentation integrity

If you are planning a movement and want to reduce risk before it becomes a cost, start with a simple gap check.

As the year wraps up, we found ourselves scrolling through calendars, scanning our inboxes for any last unanswered emails, closing missions, finishing training decks, and more than a few late-night hours thinking, okay… that was a year.

2025 was not about loud announcements. It was about quietly building things that last.
Shaping governance conversations.
Turning experience into capability.
And showing up where the work actually happens.

From contributing to EPR discussions in the UAE, to missions and projects across regions in Africa, ASEAN, Middle East and Latin America, this year reminded us that sustainability is rarely glamorous, but always worth doing properly.

We are grateful for the partners who challenged us, the teams who trusted us, and the conversations that moved from “interesting idea” to “let’s make this work”.

Now it is time to pause, recharge, and get ready to do it all again, hopefully with slightly fewer emails. 😉

Wishing everyone a restful holiday season and a strong start to the year ahead. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
