Summary/Abstract: Consumer society has made, in addition to its benefits, many problems, including those resulting from the multiplication of waste, with environmental impacts due to continuous development of all socio-economic activities they generate. The existence of different national rules from state to state, that do not impede the free movement of hazardous waste, especially in less developed countries and not imposing strict specifications of all enterprises that produce toxic waste, creates distortions and inequities in the environmental conditions offered to their inhabitants, the general ecological balance being affected also to a certain extent and or in certain areas of the Earth, which requires the adoption of international regulations that limit the harmful effects of trans-boundary waste.
