UNDP is implementing the project “Reduction and elimination of Persistent Organ Pollutants (POPs) and other chemical releases through implementation of environmentally sound management of E-Waste, healthcare waste and priority Unintentional POPs release sources associated with general waste management activities” in collaboration with the ministry of environment and other stakeholders, The project aims to achieve the avoidance of releases of UPOPs, Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) and CO2, contributing at the same time to the development of the waste circular economy elements based on the 3R (Reduce, Re-use, Recycle) approach principles. The project is designed with the three (3) components: Project Component 1: Development of an environmentally sound management (ESM) system for E-waste, which has the objective to improve and enforce the E-waste regulation in the country, and to develop capacity for the collection and disposal of POPs Contaminated E-waste products and end-of-life articles; Project Component 2: Achievement of environmentally sound healthcare waste management (HCW), which has the objective to build on the existing potential of the country to further improve and extend the current HCW practices, including training, certification and procurement of HCW waste treatment technology; Project Component 3: Development of waste diversion/resource recovery capacity for reduction in U-POPs emissions, accompanied by GHG related improvements, with the objective to demonstrate minimization in the amount of municipal waste (containing potentially hazardous fractions such as plastic etc) improperly dumped or disposed of through recycling techniques and application of refused-derived fuel (RDF) principles in modern qualified cement kiln industry, including improved management of hazardous waste through establishing of a public/private partnership. Municipal Solid Waste in Jordan The total Municipal solid Waste (MSW) generation in Jordan has increased from 1.5 million tons per year in 2000 to about 2.0 million tons per year in 2012. In 2015, the total MSW generation by the residential population has reached the amount of 2.6 million tons of MSW and is expected to reach up to 6.0 million tons by 2039. However, the existing MSW collection covers only about 90% and 70% of urban and rural areas, respectively. E-waste in Jordan. The Step Initiative estimated the generation of E-waste at 30,000 t/year, and the annual pro-capita E-waste generation is estimated at 4.5 kg /Year level. This amount is considered relatively high even for most developing countries. The government has already prepared a draft of the “Electronic and electrical waste management instructions (last update 2014)”, which however was not approved yet. The objective of these “instructions” is to regulate the procedures for the management of electronic and electrical waste to achieve their safe and sound management with reduced or minimal environmental and health implications. Healthcare Waste in Jordan. Jordan is known for its advanced and comprehensive medical system and facilities which are considered one of the best in the region. Additionally, there are an estimated 1,120 medical clinics and 378 dental clinics operating in the country. In theory, Health Care Waste (HCW)’s generation volumes are estimated based on a rate of 0.6 kg/day/bed to be 7-7.5 t/day, 226 t/monthly or 2,745 t/year. Technical and financial proposals along with CV & 3 references should be submitted, and without such will not be considered).
