The Regional Capacity Building Workshop on Best Available Techniques / Best Environmental Practices and Environmental Sound Management of POPs Wastes and PCBs for Asia”, has just taken place in Beijin from November 16 through 20.
The title of the event says a lot about the topics of the workshop, but for the general public, it is appropriate to add some information, emphasising the importance of the event and Sea Marconi’s role.
The meeting dealt with the state of the art of initiatives taken by the Countries represented about the management and decontamination of POPs (Persistent Organic Contaminants) and PCBs.
The Capacity Building Workshop in Beijin gathered 57 participants, among them:
– 29 delegates from 14 Countries of the Asian Continent (Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Kiribati, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Sri Lanka e Thailand) – 28 personalities from inter-government organisations (e.g. Stockholm Convention, UNDP and UNIDO), non-government organisations (e.g. International POPs Elimination Network – IPEN), Universities, Research Centres and private companies like Sea Marconi. The population represented by the delegates is very impressive: about 2.6 billion people.
Vander Tumiatti, who participated last Summer to the Workshop organised by the Secretariat of the Stockholm Convention in Nairobi has been invited to share his competency in favour of the Asian Continent as well.
Sea Marconi is confirmed being an international leader for the know-how accumulated and, in particular, for the decontamination of oils contaminated by PCBs.
