Thank you to everyone who joined our GGKP webinar on October 28, where we delved into PCB inventories, management practices, and destruction techniques. We’re excited to share that the presentation slides and full video recording are now available on our website! Please check the links below!

Those who would like to revisit or further study the session's insights can easily access all materials on the platform.

Several excellent questions were raised during the webinar, and due to time constraints, we couldn’t address them all live. To ensure your inquiries are answered thoroughly, we’ve prepared a comprehensive Q&A document, now available on the Green Forum.

Head over to the forum to catch up on the session, deepen your understanding of PCB management, and explore the full Q&A. Thank you for your participation and engagement, and we look forward to continuing the conversation!

Hello colleagues! I am thrilled to see how many people joined our NIP group in such a short time. We truly hope that the community of colleagues working on chemicals and chemical waste management worldwide expands and that we will have more opportunities to share our experiences, challenges, and how we get through them.

As GGKP is preparing another webinar on PCBs and PCB inventory development on October 28, for the project countries and other Parties of the Stockholm Convention, we welcome volunteers with field experience in PCBs or those working on their PCB inventories to share good practices or challenges with PCBs in their country. This is an amazing opportunity to engage with a PCB expert Dr. Thomas Paramanandam and share experiences. For those interested in joining the panel discussion, please contact me at: [email protected]

Wish everyone a great day and an amazing weekend!
