Extended producer-responsibility
The document provides an assessment report on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). It begins with an introduction to EPR, defining it as a policy that shifts responsibility for end-of-life product management from governments to producers. It then discusses global EPR trends, perspectives on EPR in Egypt, and concludes with recommendations, such as developing an EPR policy framework in Egypt through stakeholder consultation.
OECD Modelling Plastics Use Projections Workshop - Ruben Bibas
Global plastic projections are expected to rise substantially through 2050 without new policy interventions. A structural economic model called ENV-Linkages can provide insights into the underlying economic drivers of plastic use projections on a sectoral level. ENV-Linkages is a multi-regional, multi-sectoral computable general equilibrium model that can track the entire plastic value chain. It allows for sector-based plastic projections and considers issues like international trade, costs and benefits of policies, and coordinated policy action across different areas. There are ongoing efforts to extend ENV-Linkages to explicitly include plastic sectors and waste generation.
OECD Modelling Plastics Use Projections Workshop - IIASA
This document provides an overview of the plastic waste sector in the GAINS model developed by IIASA. It summarizes how the GAINS model projects plastic waste generation and management using socioeconomic drivers. It estimates that in 2015, 228 teragrams of plastic waste was generated globally, with high income countries generating the most per capita. Only 30% of plastic waste was collected globally in 2015. The model projects plastic waste entering waterways could reach 13 teragrams by 2050 if management does not improve, especially in Africa and South Asia. It also estimates potential air pollution from open burning of plastic waste.

OECD Modelling Plastics Use Projections Workshop - Roland Geyer
1. A new study analyzed global plastic production, use, and waste generation from 1950-2017 using a mass-balanced stock and flow model.
2. The study found that a total of 7,000 million metric tons (Mt) of plastic waste has been generated since plastic production began in 1950.
3. As of 2017, out of the total plastic waste generated, 76% has been discarded in landfills or the environment, 14% has been incinerated, and only 10% has been recycled.
OECD Modelling Plastics Use Projections Workshop - Shardul Agrawala
The document discusses recent and ongoing work by the OECD on plastics issues. It outlines plans for a Global Plastics Outlook to examine key questions around plastics policy, innovation, markets, and environmental impacts. The outlook would use economic modeling to project future plastic production and waste in the absence of new policies, and analyze the costs and benefits of policy responses. It would provide a global assessment of economic drivers and the environmental consequences of plastic pollution through 2040/2060.
OECD Modelling Plastics Use Projections Workshop - Julien Boucher
This document discusses modelling plastic leakage in the environment. It describes past and ongoing work by Shaping EA to assess plastic leakage along value chains and within countries. This includes developing a plastic leakage project to quantify leakage within markets, products, and polymer types. The document also discusses identifying regional plastic pollution hotspots through a mass balance approach coupled with leakage modelling. This allows computing a leakage map and pinpointing hotspot areas. Finally, it mentions an attempt to calibrate the modelling by comparing results to measurements of microplastic fluxes and stocks in the Lake Geneva basin.

OECD Workshop on Regional Trade Agreements and the Environment Session - 2.2 ...
This workshop focused on key issues related to Regional Trade Agreements (RTA) and the environment. It had three main objectives: (i) to take stock of current experience and insights on RTAs and the environment from different stakeholders, and to establish a stakeholder dialogue on this topic; (ii) to investigate how RTAs can serve as a vehicle to advance a resource efficient and circular economy transition; and (iii) to explore the potential of RTAs in addressing the nexus of illegal trade and environmental crime
OECD Modelling Plastics Use Projections Workshop - Morten Ryberg
This document discusses a study estimating plastic losses across the global plastics value chain in 2015. The study found total losses were 9.2 million metric tons. Mismanaged plastic waste and littering were identified as the largest sources of macroplastic losses, while the use stage was the main source of microplastic losses from sources like textile washing and cosmetics. Moving forward, the document recommends improving estimates of specific loss sources, studying the fate and impacts of macro and microplastics, and developing a framework to assess environmental damage from plastic losses to support informed decision-making.
Status of e waste import and management in india
India generates around 4% of global e-waste annually, ranking 5th largest. In 2016, India generated around 3.5 million tonnes of e-waste annually and imported an additional 50,000 tonnes. The US exports the most e-waste to India at around 42% of imports, followed by China at 30%. Only around 1.5% of India's e-waste is formally recycled, while 8% goes to landfills and the remaining 90.5% is handled by the informal sector. The government has policies around e-waste importation and recycling, but challenges remain around tracking and regulating e-waste flows within the country.

Eia 2006 vs. eia 2020
The document compares India's new EIA 2020 legislation to the EIA 2006 legislation. EIA 2020 provides exemptions that allow projects to violate the environment before seeking clearance, unlike EIA 2006. Key changes in EIA 2020 include exempting some projects from clearance, reducing public hearing time, allowing post-facto clearance, minimizing public participation, and exempting citizens from reporting violations. EIA 2020 is being criticized for weakening environmental protections.
OECD Green Talks LIVE - Rethinking Plastics in a Disposable Society
The global production and use of plastics are expected to increase fourfold to 2050 and if the material is poorly managed at the end-of-life, this will potentially result in significantly increased impacts on the environment, especially through marine plastic litter.
How can this scenario be avoided, why are current recycling rates for plastics so low and what can be done to improve them?
On 23 January, 2019, Peter Börkey of the OECD Environment Directorate addressed this pressing issue and the policy responses that are required to tackle it.
Green public procurement in China - Zhang Xiaodan
1) Green public procurement (GPP) in China has increased significantly since 2003, reaching 1.13 trillion RMB in 2011. China has implemented GPP policies and lists for environmental labeling products, with over 51,000 products from 1,225 companies currently covered.
2) China participates in international GPP cooperation projects through the UN and other organizations and looks to continue learning from international experiences to improve its GPP system.
3) Going forward, China aims to expand green requirements across product life cycles, improve GPP monitoring and evaluation, research new GPP models, and promote GPP through international cooperation on environmental labeling and green supply chains.
OECD Modelling Plastics Use Projections Workshop - Yoni Shiran
This document provides information about a project to analyze pathways to stop ocean plastic pollution through a robust, evidence-driven analysis considering economic, environmental, and social implications. The project objectives are to:
1) Provide analysis of both upstream and downstream solutions across economic, environmental, and social dimensions with a focus on solutions.
2) Conduct the analysis scientifically with input from over 100 experts representing all geographies and the plastic value chain.
3) Provide a full cost analysis of different pathways to 2040 through a comprehensive dynamic systems model developed with Oxford University.
Green Talks LIVE | International Trade and the Circular Economy
A circular economy aims to transform the current linear economy into a circular model to reduce consumption of finite material resources by recovering materials from waste streams for recycling or reuse, using products longer, and exploiting the potential of the sharing and services economy. Circular economy policies and initiatives largely take place domestically at the national or regional level. However, they have important interlinkages with international trade.
International trade plays an important role in circular supply chains in materials and products, end-of-life value chains in waste and scrap, secondary raw materials and second-hand goods. In this light, how can trade contribute to a more resource efficient and circular economy? How would the circular economy transition have an impact on global trade patterns? And in what ways can we secure coherence in these two policy areas?
On 25 March 2021, Shunta Yamaguchi, Rob Dellink and Elisa Lanzi of the OECD Environment Directorate discussed the role of international trade in the transition to a resource efficient and circular economy during an OECD Green Talks LIVE webinar. The presentation highlights findings from a series of recent OECD reports, including: "The consequences of a more resource efficient and circular economy for international trade patterns" and "International trade and circular economy: Policy alignment".

IRJET- Solid Waste Management Efficiency in Kabul City
This document summarizes a study on solid waste management efficiency in Kabul City, Afghanistan. The study used mixed quantitative and qualitative methods, including surveys of 380 households in District 7 and 375 households in District 10. The results showed that the majority of respondents felt the municipality's waste management was ineffective and services were insufficient. Over 72% noted a lack of public awareness programs. More than 56% said residents participate in waste management. The study concluded that improving efficiency requires reducing waste, increasing awareness, private sector involvement, and new technologies. It was suggested to develop a strategic plan with short and long-term goals to guide sustainable waste management.
Producer Responsibility Scheme
The document discusses Hong Kong's plastic bag levy scheme. It provides background on the need to reduce landfill waste and introduces the "polluter pays" principle. In 2008, the Product Eco-responsibility Ordinance was passed, providing the legal basis for a levy on plastic shopping bags. Since implementation in 2010, the number of plastic bags distributed has reduced by 90%, showing the scheme has been successful in reducing plastic bag use. Civic engagement and public opinion generally supported the levy, though plastic bag manufacturers and retailers opposed it. Reinforcement theory explains how the levy strengthened the desired behavior of reducing plastic bag use.
[Urban transportation policy program] action plan quito
The document proposes a new transportation model for Ecuador to address issues like population growth, urban sprawl, and environmental impacts. It would create a multimodal integrated transportation system with a unified fare structure and use of intelligent transportation systems. A National Transit Agency would regulate and control the system over 10 years, with the goal of improving mobility, economic activity, infrastructure, and quality of life while reducing fossil fuel use and emissions.
3.3 F. Gomez, the Colombian EPR experience
Colombia has implemented extended producer responsibility (EPR) for seven waste streams, including electronics and hazardous waste. The 2013 WEEE Law established an EPR system for e-waste that includes collection targets and a national committee for management. In 2012, 47,000 tons of waste were collected under EPR schemes. Performance data shows batteries, lamps, and computers met 29% of collection targets in 2012, with 71% of waste managed through recycling, export, and disposal. The summary aims to highlight the key EPR regulations and programs in Colombia along with performance statistics.
