About this project

Description

The five-year project will help China to fulfill its requirements under the Stockholm Convention. The project aims to reduce releases of UPOPs from secondary copper production in China, to reduce negative impacts on human health and the environment. The project will achieve this project objective through the introduction and demonstration of BAT/BEP technologies and sound process control. The project as outlined is structured around four components: Component 1 will support the development and improvement of the regulatory framework, strengthen institutional and management capacities, and enhance coordination with other multilateral environmental conventions; Component 2 supports the development of required infrastructure and the demonstration of BAT/BEP technologies and PPP-based industry chain management focusing on the introduction of international technologies; Component 3 will develop a national replication plan of BAT/BEP for the secondary copper smelting industry based on the demonstration results and experiences gained; Component 4 supports the monitoring and evaluation of the project and dissemination of experience and lessons learned, something that is seen as useful for other developing countries dealing with the issue globally. In addition; project management capacity will be strengthened to achieve implementation effectiveness and efficiency.

Objectives

The project aims to address and achieve reduction of POPs emissions in the secondary copper production sector in China. A national replication programme will be developed to disseminate demonstration results, through promotional activities to roll-out BAT/BEP for national replication.
