China initiated a demonstration project on PCB Management and Disposal (the PCB Demo project) in early 2006. The objective is to identify and demonstrate environmentally sound and cost effective policies, procedures and techniques for safely managing and disposing of China’s stored PCBs, associated PCB-contaminated wastes (for example, PCB-contaminated soils and water) and in-use transformers contaminated by PCBs. The project addresses inventories, regulations, technical capacity and public awareness on PCB management and disposal so that China can fulfil its obligations under the Stockholm Convention. This demonstration is being carried out in cooperation with the World Bank with funding from the Global Environment Facility, Italy, the United States and Japan.
