Practical Sourcebook on mercury waste storage and disposal

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Governing Council (GC), in decision 25/5, requested UNEP to enhance capacity for mercury storage and provide information on the sound management of mercury and mercury wastes. The project for the preparation of the ‘Practical Sourcebook on Mercury Waste Storage and Disposal’ (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Sourcebook’) is one of UNEP’s responses to this request. The project is a joint initiative of UNEP Chemicals Branch, Division of Technology Industry and Economics (DTIE), UNEP’s International Environmental Technology Centre (IETC), and the International Solid Waste Association (ISWA) under the UNEP Global Mercury Partnership. Drawing on existing work within the Global Mercury Partnership (notably the Partnership areas on waste management, supply and storage, products, and chlor-alkali) including studies, guidance and information material disseminated by the Partnership, as well as other relevant documents, reports and publications, the Sourcebook has been prepared in a consultative process, involving experts from governments, the private sector, civil society, academia and intergovernmental organizations (IGOs). Selected experts were partners of the Global Mercury Partnership, other experts UNEP Chemicals has worked with under the Partnership umbrella, and members of ISWA’s Working Group on Hazardous Waste.
