Waste Audit Report - Papua New Guinea

Description:
This report provides a snapshot of waste audit generation and composition across the business and household waste streams for six locations within PNG. Household waste collections are the responsibility of local governments. In some circumstances the local government engages private sector contractors to provide these services, which in general are limited to the urban areas only. Recycling in the PNG in conducted by the private sector and is limited to scrap-steel e-wastes, oil, vehicle batteries and PET plastic (although the latter may have slowed due to market limitations). The disposal sites owned by the local government may be operated in accordance with local by-laws but may not hold an environmental permit issued by the national regulator, CEPA.
