However, adoption of circular policies and practices in the sector remains very limited and a weak e-waste management infrastructure result in growing volumes of e-waste being handled predominantly by an informal sector using environmentally unsound methods. Such practices lead to increased emissions of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including unintentionally produced POPs (UPOPs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PDBEs), as well as mercury and other toxic substances. This project aims to improve resource circularity and reduce the release of hazardous chemicals and wastes in the electronics value chain by addressing transformation levers (policy, infrastructure, innovation and learning, and multistakeholder dialogues) delivering results that national-level plans, policies, and incentive mechanisms for the circular electronics value chain; innovative and resource efficient products; markets to support innovation and behavior changes towards increased longevity; mechanisms to maximize reuse, repair, and material recycling; removal of hazardous waste streams in the electronics sector; knowledge management platform; and coordination and linkages among the relevant stakeholders. The project will deliver multiple global environmental benefits (GEBs), including the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (27,237 tons) and chemicals of global concern and their waste (2.7 tons of POPs and 0.3 kg of mercury removed or disposed, 20,411 tons of POPs/mercury-containing materials and products directly avoided) and POPs to air (1.7 gTEQ reduced). Other expected results include improved public health, a strengthened informal sector, and enhanced livelihoods. Expected Outputs Consultancy Services for Development of a Standard and Systematic e-waste Inventory in Cambodia, and Map Material Flows with GIS and Flow Modelling Tools and Identify Leakage CAREER CATEGORY: Other LOCATION: Phnom Penh SUMMARY Contract Type: Contractual Services
Cambodia’s EEE sector is rapidly growing, but limited circular practices and weak e-waste management are increasing environmental and public health risks from POPs, mercury, and other hazardous substances. The project promotes a circular electronics value chain by strengthening policies, innovation, resource efficiency, reuse, repair, recycling, and stakeholder collaboration while reducing hazardous waste and chemicals. The project will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and hazardous chemicals while improving public health, strengthening the informal sector, and enhancing livelihoods. The project is organized around four components as follows: 1. Enabling policies on circular economy for electronics; 2. Cleaner production and sustainable consumption and use; 3. Resource-efficient value chain across the electronics sector; and 4. Knowledge management, communication, and program-level coordination. The project is funded by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF). The Implementing Partner f
