Developing Waste Diversion

Component 3: Developing waste diversion/resource recovery capacity for GHG and U-POPs reduction

This component addresses several priority chemicals waste and U-POPs release issues associated with waste management generally along with potential GHG release reduction and avoidance. This is done through support for demonstration of modern SW and HW management practice improvement based on waste diversion and qualification of environmentally sound recycling, resource recovery and energy from waste options. It further links to the other Project components, particularly Component 1, and supports substantive national and international initiatives related to SW and HW management
