Towards an integrated sustainable waste management for Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in Bangladesh

SUMMARY: This paper analyses the major problems and challenges due to Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and other obsolete pesticides in Bangladesh, and seeks for possible solutions for their treatment and/or disposal. As methodology we use the concept of Integrated Sustainable Waste Management (ISWM), SWOT analysis (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats), and Multi-criteria evaluation to find the best option for POPs waste handling and to develop future strategies for sustainable and integrated POPs management in Bangladesh.

There are mainly two problems in the management of POPs: First, it has no priority in developing countries such as Bangladesh and second, the treatment and disposal of outdated pesticides require heavy investment, which is difficult to obtain from the country itself. On the basis of SWOT analysis, three most likely options for POPs handling have been identified, namely the treatment in a new established incinerator (1), the disposal on an engineered landfill (2), and the export to an industrialised country for appropriate treatment and disposal abroad (3). Under consideration of three selected criteria such as construction costs, impact on environment, and social acceptance the multi-criteria analysis found the export to an industrialised country to be the most realistic and preferred option, although an export of POPs waste for treatment and disposal in Europe is very expensive (3-4.5 US$/kg or litre for incineration in Europe (OECD et al., 2005)).
