 Project Components
Component 1. Management of POPs in
Waste Electrical and Electronics
Equipment (WEEE)
Component 2. Sound Management of
PCB – contaminated equipment, PCB
wastes and stockpiles from electric
cooperatives
Component 3: Institutional
Strengthening, capacity building and
awareness raising (Information,
Education and Communication)
Component 4: Project monitoring and
evaluation
Project Outcomes
1. Strengthened legislation and institutional
capacity in implementing PBDE action plan
and Reduction and eventual elimination of
POPS- PBDE releases from WEEE to mitigate
their health impact
2. PCB Management Plans of selected rural
cooperatives effectively implemented
3. Increased capacity and awareness on
sustainable and effective WEEE and PCB
waste management by relevant stakeholders
4. Project and all stakeholders are able to
monitor and evaluate the project’s progress
allowing for the implementation of the
national action plans on POPs

Measurable Results in terms of POPs Reduction
600 tons of PCB oil and PCB contaminated equipment identified by
the Electric Cooperatives disposed in the Non Com POPs Facility in
Bataan (Total subsidy of $1.2M)

At least 1150 kg of PBDE disposed, coming from 50,000 CRT

monitors

Capacity for the treatment of at least 700 t/year of PCB

contaminated materials established

Capacity for the disposal of at least 300 tons/year of POP

contaminated E-waste components established

The project to ensure the safe disposal of around 225 tons of lead
containing glass
