The objective of this partnership area is to
significantly minimize and where feasible eliminate global mercury
releases to air, water, and land that may occur from chlor-alkali
production facilities. The sub-objectives of this partnership area are
to:
-
Prevent the construction
of new mercury-cell chlor-alkali production facilities
-
Reduce mercury emissions
and use from existing mercury-cell facilities
-
Encourage conversion to
non-mercury processes
-
Reduce or eliminate
mercury releases from waste generated by chlor-alkali production
facilities including waste from conversion to non-mercury processes
-
Promote
environmentally-sound options for storage of surplus mercury to limit
downstream releases from surplus mercury generated by the conversion,
phase-out, or closure of mercury-cell chlor-alkali facilities.
