Project description

The project assists Indonesia in implementing relevant obligations under the Stockholm Convention. In particular, the project focuses on reducing the use and release of harmful POPs to protect human health and the environment (such as PBDEs, toxic flame retardants, Dioxin and Furans, and UPOPs) by strengthening the sound management of chemicals and waste. A reduction in the use and release of these harmful POPs will result in social and economic benefits, such as a reduced burden of disease and reduced health care and environmental remediation costs. The project also supports Indonesia's plastics industry and recyclers in assuring that no banned PBDEs are used or recycled into new manufactured articles. The project works on the following outcomes: (1) Strengthening the national policy and regulatory framework to reduce UPOPs and PBDE releases from plastics manufacturing, recycling and disposal practices; (2) Reducing or eliminating the import and use of PBDEs in plastics manufacturing; (3) Reducing UPOPs and PBDEs releases from unsound plastics recycling; (4) Reducing releases of UPOPs and PBDEs from unsound plastics disposal practices; and (5) Monitoring, Learning, Adaptive Feedback, Outreach and Evaluation.
