The Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal (Basel Convention) is one of the global conventions which seeks to address the management of plastic waste through various tools, including but not limited to the Plastic Waste Partnership, and the Technical Guidelines on the Environmentally Sound Management of Plastic Waste (the Technical Guidelines). The Technical Guidelines consist of ten (10) modules which address measures to assist countries to control the generation of plastic waste and provide guidance on the different stages of plastic waste management. Each project country has determined the modules of the Technical Guidelines they wish to test under this project based on their national situations with plastic waste management and national priorities to strategically improve plastic waste management.
The BCRC-Caribbean is seeking to recruit a suitably qualified National Technical Team (NTT) on plastic waste management in Suriname to support with the implementation of the project entitled “Testing of inventory guidance of plastic waste and testing of technical guidelines on the ESM of plastic waste” in three (3) Caribbean countries, namely Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Lucia and Suriname.
