Inventory of worldwide PCB destruction capacity

This document is prepared by UNEP chemicals in co-operation with the secretariat of Basel convention . The publication is intended to serve as a first guide on available PCB destruction facilities.

Information on available PCB-destruction facilities has been collected from UNEP’s POPs focal points during 1998 and has together with data from other sources, notably from the Secretariat of the Basel Convention (SBC) been incorporated into this inventory of the worldwide capacity to destroy PCBs. The inventory lists facilities that can store, handle and dispose of PCBs in various forms, and should provide a useful tool for national authorities and others concerned with the management of PCBs
