Created a Post in Chemicals and Waste Management Community of Practice (CoP)
Welcome to the Chemicals and Waste Management Community of Practice!
The SAICM Secretariat is facilitating this Community of Practice (CoP) to host ongoing active discussions on issues of concern and chemicals of concern across diverse supply chains, capacity building and other relevant topics.
In 2020, SAICM established four CoPs – Highly Hazardous Pesticides, Chemicals in Products, Lead in Paint, and Chemicals and the Sustainable Development Goals – that have led successful knowledge exchanges.
While the activities of these communities came to an end in 2022, the SAICM Secretariat is continuing the momentum with a single, all-inclusive CoP on chemicals and waste management, in partnership with the Green Growth Knowledge Partnership (GGKP).
On the SAICM websites, previous discussions on chemicals and waste management are still available.
We look forward to seeing you more often on the Green Forum to share your insights!
Today at 2pm CEST, Chemicals and Waste Management CoP discussion on reporting and capacity building for the Beyond 2020 Framework Instrument will take place!
How can diverse stakeholders be more effectively engaged in the development and implementation of a capacity-building strategy for the new framework instrument?
What do you see as the key components that should be present in a successful capacity-building strategy for the new framework instrument?
Don't forget to register and join the discussion in an hour. Looking forward to seeing you all during the discussion!

What are the most pressing issues for you related to chemicals in plastics?
Here is a report that can guide you through the issues linked to plastic pollution and associated chemicals.
"Chemicals in Plastics: A Technical Report" by UNEP integrates two studies on chemicals in plastics, revealing that of the 13,000 substances associated with plastics, more than 3,200 are chemicals of potential concern.
As concerning chemicals have been discovered in plastics across various sectors and product value chains and can be released during any phase of a plastic's life cycle, addressing these chemicals could help resolve a spectrum of SAICM-related and other pressing issues.
Learn more from the recording of the chemicals in plastics discussion where speakers zoomed in on issues and methodologies to handle chemicals in plastics.
