Cairo Guidelines on Waste Trading  

Definition(s)

  • The united nations environment program (unep) adopted the Cairo Guidelines and Principles for the Environmentally Sound Management of Hazardous Wastes, or Cairo Guidelines on Waste Trading, in 1987. The guidelines dealt with the nature and transport of hazardous wastes, primarily by sea, and the informed consent to be given by states through whose territory the waste passed and the prior notification that states were to receive.
