National Financial Instruments/Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Consultant - PPG phase
Environmentally Sound Management of Hazardous Wastes in Mauritius - Project ID: 00115062National Financial Instruments/Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Consultant - PPG phaseDue to their small size and narrow resource bases, Small Island Development States (SIDS) are import-dependent economies. On a per capita basis, waste generation in SIDS is rising. In 2014 it was slightly lower than in OECD countries (1.29 kg/capita/day, compared to 1.35 kg/capita/day), but as of 2019 is 2.3 kg/capita/day, 48% higher than that of OECD countries.In Mauritius, hazardous wastes management remains a major issue of concern. One of the main challenges being the economic unviability of setting up treatment/disposal systems for certain hazardouswaste streams as the volumes generated are too low, necessitating their export. However, export remains logistically complicated and costly, and a backing financial mechanism needs to be put in place to make this sustainable.Opportunities for local recycling, treatment and disposal exist for hazardous waste streams such as waste oil, e-wastes and healthcare wastes (non-BAT decentralized incineration), but further improvements are required to reduce release of chemicals, including POPs and mercury. The disposal of end-of-life vehicles and POPs-containing materials also need to be addressed as the number of vehicles on the Mauritian roads keep increasing year-by-year.The Government of Mauritius is strategically well positioned to support the systemic transformation proposed by the ISLANDS programme.As one of the Implementing Agencies of the Global Environment Facility (GEF), UNDP is supporting developing countries to develop and implement projects aimed at such challenges and planned activities to overcome those in Mauritius as a part of a regional programme for the Indian Ocean, and, at a broader and global level, will coordinate work with the parent programme (PFD) and other regional programmes in the Asia-Pacific and Caribbean Oceans which...
