The project will produce a detailed plan to enable ESEA countries adopt and introduce BAT/BEP strategies to the industrial priority sectors of Annex C at a regional level through partnering on investments and joint ventures among countries sharing similar sector source releases of unintentionally produced persistent organic pollutants (UP-POPs). The project will introduce a systematic tool for the industry to assimilate structured decision making through a criterion route of selection and ranking of clean process design, retrofitting and operations. The final objective is to collectively update knowledge on technology transfer, sampling analysis, research for development and contribute to global monitoring of UP-POPs releases using a regional programmatic approach in order to avoid each country adopts different solutions to implement BAT/BEP, depending on its relaxed local standards, laws and regulations as well as on its local social and economic conditions.
