Connection with other Connection with other ConventionsConventions
Basel/POPs Convention: • Joint Course and Regional Lead Project and support on local study (2002)
• CIEN Project promoted by EPA-UNEP (2003)
• PCB Training workshop for Power, Transmission and Distribution Utilities (March 2004)
• Hazardous Material Regional Workshop (July 2004)
•Activities included as part of the CP - IPA
Montreal Protocol: • Data collection for the inventory for industry and commercial users• Activities included as part of the CP - IPA

Case 2: Material substitutionEquipos El PradoEquipos El Prado• Metal processingMetal processing
• Before CP-IPA it was used Cr +VI (water pollutant, toxic and carcinogenic)
• Now the use Cr III (Cr IV free).
• Benefits:– They eliminate the use of the
onlyonly carcinogenic substance of the process
– Reduction in water treatment costs
– Increase in production costs of only 7%.
– Product quality is the same and is accepted by the companies
