2. The “CP Methodology” has been adapted to the Stockholm Convention with focus on eliminating/ minimising the unintentionally produced POPs (dioxin and furan). INTRODUCTION CP approach to Basel Convention ACME - Session 9.C - CP methodology adapted to Stockholm Convention - 2 / 17

3. CP methodology is tailored to focus on combustion related activities and other activities in the industry which might generate Dioxins and Furans. The methodology explains: What should be done in theory. How it is done in practice. METHODOLOGY Focus on unintentionaly produced POPs ACME - Session 9.C - CP methodology adapted to Stockholm Convention - 3 / 17

4. 1/ The Cleaner Production (CP) strategy: - prevention of waste; - systematic approach; - integrated into business processes; - aimed at continuous improvement. 2/ Several existing CP audit methodologies. 3/ Real practice experience from CP assessments carried out in the past. METHODOLOGY Methodology based on 3 elements ACME - Session 9.C - CP methodology adapted to Stockholm Convention - 4 / 17

5. Companies can focus on specific operations/activities leading to the generation of dioxins and furans through the same 6-step Cleaner Production approach with little adaptation. Under each step there are several tasks. Each task describes what a company should do to avoid the generation of the Dioxins and Furans. METHODOLOGY How to use it?

6. STEP 1 Planning and Organization STEP 2 Assessment STEP 3 Identification of Options STEP 5 Implementation and Monitoring STEP 6 Continuous Improvement STEP 4 Feasibility Analysis of Options METHODOLOGY CP methodology adapted to Stockholm 1a - Meeting with top management 1b - Form a Team and inform staff 1c - Pre-assessment to collect general information 1d - Select focus areas 1e - Prepare assessment proposal for top management approval 2a - Staff meeting and training 2b - Prepare focus area flow charts 2c - Walkthrough of focus areas 2d - Quantify inputs and outputs and costs to establish a baselines 2e - Quantify losses through a material and energy balance 3a - Cause analysis 3b - Identify possible options 3c - Screen options for feasibility analysis 4a - Technical, economic and environmental evaluation of options 4b - Rank feasible options for implementation 4c - Prepare implementation and monitoring proposal for top management approval 5a - Implement options and monitor results 6a - Prepare proposal to continue with hazardous/toxic waste reduction for management approval. ACME - Session 9.C - CP methodology adapted to Stockholm Convention - 6 / 17

7. Purpose of step 1: - To obtain top management commitment - Plan and organize the detailed study Without an approved plan, there is no commitment! Output of step 1: A written proposal with selected processes, steps and tasks to avoid the generation of the Dioxins and Furans, approved by top management. STEP 1 Planning and Organization (1) ACME - Session 9.C - CP methodology adapted to Stockholm Convention - 7 / 17

8. 1a. Meeting with top management 1b. Form a Team and inform staff 1c. Pre-assessment to collect general information 1d. Select focus areas 1e. Prepare assessment proposal for top management approval STEP 1 ACME - Session 9.C - CP methodology adapted to Stockholm Convention - 8 / 17 Planning and Organization (2)

9. STEP 2 Assessment (1) Purpose of step 2: To assess the process/operation selected as the focus area(s). Output of step 1 An overview of the process/operation parameters, the process control measures adopted etc. Then it becomes easier to identify options to avoid the formation of the Dioxins and Furans in step 3!

10. 2a. Staff meeting and training 2b. Prepare focus area flow charts 2c. Walkthrough of focus areas 2d. List critical source of generation of Dioxins and Furans to establish a baseline STEP 2A ACME - Session 9.C - CP methodology adapted to Stockholm Convention - 10 / 17 Assessment (2)

11. STEP 3 Identification of Options (1) Purpose of step 3: To identify opportunities to avoid the generation of the Dioxins and Furans. Output of step 3: List of options that will be investigated on their feasibility in step 4. ACME - Session 9.C - CP methodology adapted to Stockholm Convention - 11 / 17

12. 3a. Cause Analysis 3b. Identify possible options 3c. Screen options for feasibility analysis STEP 3 Identification of Options (2) ACME - Session 9.C - CP methodology adapted to Stockholm Convention - 12 / 17

13. Purpose of step 4: - to determine which options are technically, financially and environmentally feasible; - in what order they should be implemented. Output of step 4 : - a proposal that is approved by top management, with recommended options for implementation; - procedure to do this; - a list of options that require further investigation or which are not feasible. STEP 4 Feasibility Analysis of Options (1) ACME - Session 9.C - CP methodology adapted to Stockholm Convention - 13 / 17

14. 4a. Technical, economic and environmental evaluation of options 4b. Rank feasible options for implementation 4c. Prepare implementation and monitoring proposal for approval STEP 4 Feasibility Analysis of Options (2) ACME - Session 9.C - CP methodology adapted to Stockholm Convention - 14 / 17

15. Purpose of step 5: - to implement feasible options in order of priority; - monitor results of implemented options; - discuss findings with top management. Output of step 5: - avoidance of the generation of the Dioxins and Furans. - agreement with top management about the next steps. STEP 5 Implementation and Monitoring ACME - Session 9.C - CP methodology adapted to Stockholm Convention - 15 / 17

16. Purpose of step 6: To ensure that the company continues with improving the environment through a systematic way that is integrated in company processes. Output of step 6 : - continuation of implementing the identified options; - integration of CP assessment into company processes. STEP 6 Continuous Improvement ACME - Session 9.C - CP methodology adapted to Stockholm Convention - 16 / 17
