Mitigation Measures for Waste Sector: Enhancing Capacity for Low Emission Development Strategies (EC-LEDS) Clean Energy Program

The program aims to enhance capacity for low emission development strategies in partner countries. The report highlights the importance of addressing waste management in the context of climate change. It notes that the waste sector is a significant contributor to GHG emissions, with various waste streams, including batteries, tires, waste oils, and electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), generating substantial emissions. The report emphasizes the need for effective mitigation measures to reduce these emissions. The report presents a comprehensive analysis of various waste streams, including portable batteries, automotive batteries, tires, waste oils, WEEE, end-of-life vehicles (ELV), and packaging waste. For each waste stream, the report provides an assessment of their GHG emission potential, recycling potential, and indirect mitigation measures. The analysis highlights the significant reduction in GHG emissions that can be achieved through recycling and proper waste management practices. The report also presents collection targets for various waste streams, including batteries, tires, waste oils, WEEE, ELV, and packaging waste. These targets are based on the 2016-2030 National Waste Management Strategy and the 2016-2020 National Action Plan. The report emphasizes the importance of achieving these targets to reduce GHG emissions and promote sustainable waste management practices. The report concludes by highlighting the need for effective implementation of mitigation measures to reduce GHG emissions in the waste sector. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration among stakeholders, including governments, private sector entities, and civil society organizations, to achieve the goals of the EC-LEDS Clean Energy Program. The report provides a detailed analysis of the waste sector and its contribution to GHG emissions. It highlights the importance of effective mitigation measures and provides a framework for achieving significant reductions in GHG emissions through sustainable waste management practices. The report's findings and recommendations can inform policy and decision-making in the waste sector, promoting a low-carbon future and contributing to the achievement of climate change mitigation goals. The report's analysis of various waste streams and their GHG emission potential provides a comprehensive understanding of the waste sector's contribution to climate change.
