Conclusion

3. The status of each goal
Goal 1 is highly relevant, and the policy framework for solid waste has been undertaken under the NCDP.
Under goal 2, Myanmar is undertaking waste to energy project
Recycle rate is increasing especially in paper, plastic and metal. Others are low rate for recycling. There is no specific policy in there
For goal 4 Build sustainable cities /green cities by encouraging “zero waste” is needed for policy intervention
Goal 5, we have policy and program for private sector , e.g Industrial policy No.(4) - Efficient Utilization of available natural resources and promotion of value-added products based on locally available natural resources

4. The status of each goal (continued)
There are pilot projects under goal 6, e.g IEE Project ( ) , RECP Project ( )
Specific policy intervention are needed under goal 7 and 8.
Recently, Myanmar has signed in Basel Convention. In near future, systematic classification of hazardous wastes will be followed by Basel Convention. This will support to Goal 9.
Goal 10-12, and we do not have specific policies , however, the programme has been implemented

5. The status of each goal (continued)
E-waste is mostly sent to second hand shop and we do not have specific data for each item
To improve resource efficiency and resource productivity, Myanmar is working with ASEAN programmes
For goal 18 to 19. we need to strengthen our mechanism
The rest of the goals are under processing and need to develop specific policy and project

6. Challenges
Strengthening specific rule and regulation
Budget constraints
Awareness for public
Cross sector policy is needed

7. Conclusion Realizing the importance of 3 R is progressing
Slowly progress
Technical and financial support are needed for improving in all areas
