This case study is an annex to UNEP's “Sectoral guidance for inventories of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and other chemicals of concern in buildings/construction, electrical and electronic equipment, and vehicles”. It serves as an educational resource to understand the sectoral approach of inventories for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and the benefits of dynamic material and substance flow analysis (MFA/SFA) in assessing POPs in the building and construction sector.
The case study focuses on state-of-the-art methodologies to evaluate the presence and flow of POPs within the sector, providing valuable insights for policymakers and the waste management sector.
Within the framework of the “Global Development, Review and Update of National Implementation Plans (NIPs) under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants” project, in order to assist countries to review and update their NIP, the Green Growth Knowledge Partnership (GGKP) is executing Component 4, which focuses on the dissemination of information, management of knowledge and liaising with the Stockholm Convention Secretariat in providing information and tools to be integrated with existing materials and makes them easily accessible and understandable by all parties to the convention.
