Non Com POPs Project
Global Programme to demonstrate the viability and removal of barriers that impede adoption and successful implementation of available non-combustion technologies for destroying Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in the Philippines
PUBLIC - PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP
The Project delineates clearly the strong level of Partnershipbetween the Government of the Republic of the Philippines, the private and public sector entities as well as the Civil Society. Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) was signed between DENR and the operating entity. The MoA between DENR and the main owners of PCB transformers and capacitors has been prepared and agreed between the partners.
The local representatives together with the private sector partners will create a strong public-private partnership supported by the local Civil Society (NGO community) who is represented by the EHF at international level. The local NGO will be represented by the Greenpeace Philippines.
Other partners (licensed service providers) will be responsible for continuous and adequate supply of PCB to the operations through collection, transport and storage of PCB waste and PCB-containing equipment from all over the Philippines. The owners of the PCB wastes and PCB-containing equipment (most importantly Meralco, TransCo, and NAPOCOR) will ultimately pay for the services.
