| OUTCOME D. BAT/BEP FOR THE REDUCTION OF USE AND CONSUMPTION OF PLASTICS AND MANAGEMENT OF PLASTICS WASTE
Output D1. Pilot #1: BEP/BAP for the comprehensive management of plastics in agricultural activities The pilot seeks to improve/integrate agricultural-use plastic through BAT/BEP of plastic waste produced along the value chain of agricultural production, mainly banana harvesting and packaging for export shipping and other plastics used for pesticides as well as other uses of plastics in agriculture: ropes, sacks, bags, cans, bottles, pesticide containers, cover soil, greenhouse cover, etc. After the identification, characterization and localization of the agro-plastics, the project will habilitate a network of mini-collection centers which will feed the collection/pre-processing centers in Orotina and Talamanca, which will be equipped with machinery for grinding and packing of plastics. A mobile extruder of plastic for semi-finished products (such as bars, rods, and flat sections) will be used alternatively in the Centers. A business model of collection/pre-processing centers will be produced, and the POPs emissions will be accounted for. This activity will be developed in close coordination with MAG, MINSALUD, Chamber of Agricultural Inputs, Clean Up Our Fields Foundation and Dos Pinos. The following activities will be developed within Output D1: a) Pilot Design: Assessment of types of plastics, quantification of each type of identified plastics. b) Pilot plant: procurement equipment c) Operation tests d) Assessment of results Output D2. Pilot #2 on Non-Recyclable plastics including sources, consumption baseline and business model feasibility study for their management Through this Output the project will develop, test, and evaluate a coordinated model for “non-Recyclable” plastics’ waste management and reducing POPs and other toxic emissions from open burning of plastics. The pilot will develop a business model through a Public-Private partnership for integral management of “non-Recyclable” plastics’ waste. This will incorporate BAT/BEP to carry out cleaning activities, waste collection logistics, storage, and transfer to processing centers. Collected plastic will be transformed into useful raw materials, while at the same time maintain function of a dynamic permanent inventory of these types of plastics. After collection of plastics from clean-up activities, selection, and classification of plastic’s types, preprocessing them for production of semi-finished products. Pilot will be equipped with machinery for grinding, baling, and packing of plastics. A business model of collection/pre-processing centers will be produced, and the POPs emissions will be accounted for. This activity will be developed in close coordination with MINSALUD, CRDC Pedregal, Coca Cola FEMSA, FIFCO, DOS PINOS and One Sea Foundation. The following activities will be developed within Output D2: a) Pilot Design b) Pilot plant: equipment procurement c) Operation tests e) Assessment of results Output D3. Pilot #3 on Management of vehicle plastics at the end of their life cycle Through this output the project will develop, test, and evaluate a business model of BAT/BEP for vehicle plastic’s waste management including recycling into semi-finished products, and reducing POPs and other toxic emissions from open burning of plastics. The pilot will develop an integrated scheme, including BAT/BEP for vehicle plastic’s waste management from a systematized collection from the: i) strengthening and painting shops and ii) second hand spare parts shops, which will serve functions of a dynamic permanent inventory of these types of plastics. After identification, quantification and characterization of the plastics, Pilot will integrate selection and classification of plastic’s types, preprocessing them and production of semi-finished products for construction purposes such as bars, rods, flat sections, etc. (with traceability). Pilot will be equipped with machinery for grinding and packing of plastics. An extruder of plastic for semi-finished products (such as bars, rods, and flat sections) will be used in the Processing Centre established for the purpose. A business model of collection/pre-processing centres will be produced, and the POPs emissions will be accounted for. This activity will be developed in close coordination with MINSALUD, AVIEMA and CANATEPA. The following activities will be developed within Output D3: a) Pilot Design b) Pilot plant: equipment procurement c) Operation tests d) PBDE identification, sampling, and chemical analysis. e) Assessment of results Download 39.94 Kb.
