  2. MPPI-Background Basel Convention • Swiss Initiative as a pilot partnership project. • Initiative is based on Basel’s Declaration on ESM (COP5). • Partnership, that includes a number of different stakeholders.

  3. Who are the MPPI Partners Basel Convention • Parties and Signatories to the Basel Convention. • 12 manufacturing companies: • Alcatel, LG, Matsushita (Panasonic), Mitsubishi, Motorola, NEC, Nokia, Philips, Samsung, Sharp Telecommunications Europe, Siemens, Sony Ericsson. • 3 telecom operators: • Bell Canada, France Telecom/Orange, Vodafone. • Other stakeholders: • Refurbishers (Shields Environmental, Fonebak, ReCellular), • Recyclers ( UMICORE, Noranda) • Associations (BIR, GSMA, CTIA, IPMI, IER), • Academia (Princeton University), and • NGOs (BAN, INFORM).

  4. Goals of MPPI Basel Convention • Promote sustainable partnership. • Promote environmentally sound collection, repair, refurbishment, and recycling. • Awareness raising and training on environmentally sound management of used (repair) and end-of-life (recycling) mobile phones.

  5. Work Program Basel Convention • Development of 5 guidelines (design considerations, collection, refurbishment, material recovery and recycling, and transboundary movement). • Overall Guidance Document. • Launching projects in the field to test guidelines. • Workshops to raise awareness.

  6. Future Partnerships-Suggestions Basel Convention • Confidence building among different stakeholders with different agenda. • Need to involve all stakeholders from the beginning of the initiative. • Balanced participation-need to engage more developing countries and BCRCs in discussions. • Have dedicated officials to chair project groups. • Develop a work program that is flexible, so that activities can be adjusted as you go along. • Maintain a transparent process.

  7. What could be a next partnership? “e-waste” Basel Convention • Increase in volume of e-waste, in particular the end-of-life computing equipment, being shipped to developing countries. • Basel COP 6 Ministerial panel discussion (Dec. 2002). • Priority work program in the Strategic Plan. • High Level discussion on e-waste during COP8 (Nairobi declaration on ESM of electrical and electronic waste).

  8. Objectives under such Partnership Basel Convention • Prepare good information base on e-waste: • Detailed inventories on generation, imports, exports, and existing facilities. • Awareness Raising on environmentally sound management: • Achieve better product stewardship. • Influence consumer behaviour towards more environmentally friendly actions. • Capacity Building: • Strengthening national regulatory procedures to improve the controls, and to prevent illegal traffic. • Develop guidelines on Environmentally Sound refurbishing/recycling/disposal options that could be replicated to other end-of-life equipment. • Technology transfer for repair/refurbishment and recycling. • Training of officials on various components of ESM of e-waste.

  9. Strategy Basel Convention Set up partnership to include the following: • Competent authorities, focal points, provinces or states, and municipalities. • Industry (manufacturing, distribution sector, recycling, repair/refurbishment, and disposal). • Interested governmental and non-governmental organizations (WCO, UNDP, trade associations, environmental groups). • Basel Convention Regional Training Centers. • Research institutions.

  10. Partnership Basel Convention • Identify goals for the partnership (Different partners will have different goals, and will want different activities to be carried out). • Agree on common goals, terms of reference for the partnership, reporting structure, and work program. • Identify benefits to each partner.
