Transitioning To A Circular Economy Through Chemical and Waste Management

by UNDP and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) | Originally posted on 10 March 2022

With thousands of industrial chemicals being marketed worldwide, and new chemicals becoming more complex, it is increasingly clear that a robust life cycle management system for chemicals and waste and a systematic approach towards a circular economy is required.  A circular economy eliminates waste and pollution, keeps products and materials in use and regenerates natural systems.

This publication describes UNDP's interventions on Chemicals and Waste Management, through a robust life cycle management approach, to achieve a circular economy that eliminates waste and pollution, keeps products and materials in use and regenerates natural systems in lieu of the challenges of rapid urbanization, industrialization, use of plastics, construction, and infrastructure development.
