  1. Basel Technical Guidelines Brian Wilson ILMC

  2. Basel Convention Three Principles: • minimize waste generation • reduce movement of waste • dispose as close to the source of generation as possible

  3. Basel Convention Environmentally Sound Mgt: • Protection of: • human health • environment • Advocates - “integrated LCA” • controls at every stage of disposal / recycling

  4. Basel Convention Two Waste Categories: • Non-Hazardous - examples • Domestic / Household • Green Waste • Hazardous - examples • Medical • Toxic Metal Residues

  5. Hazardous Waste Hazardous Waste …… Can be…….. a Ship… or ULAB

  6. Hazardous Waste Hazardous Waste …… Can be destined for: • Disposal • Recycling

  7. Guidance Document For Hazardous Waste Recovery:

  8. Guidance Document Obligations – Both Parties • Waste is minimized • Adequate facilities • Competent personnel • Minimum movement • Protection of the / for: • Environment • Populations

  9. Guidance Document Obligations – Both Parties • Waste must NOT be moved: • If ESM is not assured • If residues are a hazard

  10. Environmentally Sound BUT…………. ESM is not defined in the Basel Convention specifically for ULAB

  11. Environmentally Sound Define: Environmentally Sound • Easy to generalize • Difficult to be specific How does the BC define ESM?

  12. Environmentally Sound Technical Working Group – TGW • Techincal Guidelines • POPs • Biomedical • Ships • ULAB….. and many more • Training Manuals

  13. Technical Guidelines • TWG - May 2002 • Adopted Unanimously • Cop VI December 2003 • Adopted Unanimously • Parties invited to use TG. • Parties asked to review TG • Published in 6 languages
