1 WEEE / E-waste Management Capacity Building Activities by IETC Mushtaq Ahmed Memon 1

2 E-waste Generation Rates It is projected that 3 billion electrical and electronic equipment will become obsolete till 2010 (average WEEE/E-waste generation rate of 400 million units a year till 2010). Globally, about 20 to 50 million metric tons of WEEE/Ewaste is disposed each year, which is 5% of all municipal solid waste (Basel Convention). Considering 3 percent E-waste growth rate in developed countries and 8.8 percent growth rates as per market scenario, the two expected E-waste generation scenarios shows that E-waste generation will reach 40 to 70 million tons per year by

3 Management Challenges 1. Most of the countries do not have appropriate WEEE/ E-waste management plans or capacity to implement plans covering: - Collection and Transportation - Dismantling/ Recycling - Disposal 2. There is a lack of awareness and institutional responses on resource efficiency and 3R (reduce, reuse and recycle) for WEEE/E-waste management 3. Quite a few countries still do not have specific WEEE/Ewaste management policy framework and/or capacity to develop and implement interventions 3

4 Key Areas for Capacity Building 1.Data collection technical capacity, cost and time 2.Development and implementation of WEEE/Ewaste management plan based on 3R approach covering: Identification of appropriate policies (regulatory and fiscal) and development of a policy framework Identification and implementation of environmentally sound technologies (EST) Risk management, especially for informal sector 4

5 Key Areas for Institutionalization 1.Inventory Cell Due to dynamic nature of data 2.Implementation of WEEE/E: Coordination among various departments managing different waste streams Stakeholders participation (waste generators, service providers, regulators/government, recyclers and community) 5

6 UNEP-DTIE-IETC Activities Capacity building of local partners on E-waste Inventory and Management: Training and application of manuals through pilot projects 6

7 WEEE/E-waste Inventory 1. E-waste/ WEEE Definition 2. Guidelines for Assessment of WEEE/ E-waste Market 3. Guidelines for Selection of Methodology for WEEE/ E-waste Inventory 4. Guidelines for WEEE/E-waste Inventory Assessment 5. Case Study 1: WEEE/ E-waste Inventory Assessment in Cambodia 6. Case Study 2: E-waste assessment methodology and validation in India Guidance Notes 7

8 WEEE/E-waste Management 1. Perspectives of WEEE/E-waste Management 2. Current Practices of WEEE/E-waste Management 3. Stages and Technologies for WEEE/E-waste Management 4. Financing Mechanism of WEEE/Ewaste Management 5. Case Study Guidance Notes 8

9 Capacity Building Projects Objectives: 1. Awareness raising on E-waste 2. Capacity building and institutionalization of E-waste inventory 3. Capacity building and institutionalization of E-waste management 4. Demonstration project on E-waste management interventions First Project: WEEE/E-waste Management in Phnom Penh 9

10 Awareness Raising 1. Government (National & Local) All relevant departments 2. Stakeholders (waste generators, service providers, informal and formal businesses) 3. Civil society and academia 4. Project Team 10

11 Capacity Building Project team consists of: National government (Environment, Industries, Customs, etc.) Local government (provincial and local government) Local experts from academia and non-profit organizations 11

12 Data/Information Collection 1. WEEE / E-waste Inventory 2. Current management system for WEEE / E-waste (Policies/Regulations, Institutions, Financing Mechanisms, Technology and Stakeholders role) 12

17 Implementation of the Plan 17

18 Regional Workshop for Asia 1. To provide training on WEEE / E-waste Manuals 2. To Identify the core challenges for Asian countries 3. To facilitate interactive dialogue among major partners (donors, governments, institutions and private sector) 4. To discuss the focus areas and modalities for capacity building in Asia-Pacific region countries 5. To discuss the project proposal for Capacity Building on WEEE / E-waste Management in Asia-Pacific 18

21 Modus Operandi for the Project This project is in line with UNEP GC Decision 25/8 and Basel Convention s Bali Declaration on waste management UNEP IETC will be working in partnership with donor governments and institutions, other UNEP offices including Secretariats for UNEP administrated Multilateral Environmental Agreements (e.g. Secretariat for Basel Convention), multilateral and bilateral agencies (e.g. JICA and ADB), national and local governments, civil society and private sector UNEP IETC is pursuing donors to get funding for this project and the scope and scale of the project will be finalized based on the funding To achieve higher resource efficiency for the project activities, UNEP IETC would mainly develop an in-house project team, including staff of partner institutions, with minimum outside support from consultants. This would also ensure capacity building of project team and long-term commitment and backup support for project partners 21
