Reducing Releases of PBDEs and UPOPs Originating from Unsound Waste Management and Recycling Practices and the Manufacturing of Plastics in Indonesia
Year: 2013
The project was funded by GEF Trust Fund, and executed by Ministry of Industry of Indonesia.
The proposed project aims to reduce releases of PBDEs and UPOPs into the global environment by reducing (and preferably eliminating) the use of PBDEs in Indonesia’s plastics manufacturing sector and by improving plastics recycling and disposal practices (with a particular focus on PBDE containing plastics). It also aims to improve the life cycle management of (PBDE-containing) plastics and result in diverting plastics from becoming waste by creating a sustainable raw material chain for the plastics and plastics recycling industry, while identifying sustainable solutions for plastic waste fractions that currently are deemed unrecycable or hazardous. The project design to accomplish this involves development of detailed scope definition and implementation plans for the four components of project described in the PIF and as summarized below: Strentghening the national policiesand regulatory framework to reduce PBDEs and UPOPs releases from plastic manufacturing, recycling, and disposal, Reduce or eliminate the importation and use of PBDEs in plastics manufacturing, Reduciton of UPOPs and PBDEs released form unsound plastic recycling, Reducing releases of UPOPs and PBDEs form unsound plastic disposals practices.
