The Trinidad
and Tobago's economy is primarily driven by the energy sector, with large
exports of oil, gas and downstream energy products which in 2007 represented 66%
of the country’s export revenue. Its Gross Domestic Product is highly dependent
on oil prices. Even though the manufacturing industry has benefited from the
availability of cheap fuel and power, the sector did not experience any
outstanding growth in the past years according to its contribution to the
National GDP.
In order to address this issue the
non-energy related sectors have been prioritized by the Government of Trinidad
and Tobago
for further economic diversification and strategic development. Within the
manufacturing sector the Printing and Packaging and the Food and Beverages are
identified as the sub-sectors with the greatest potential for further growth and
that warrant the Government’s attention and assistance from the CLCPA Program
for their sustainable development.
Based on available data,
more than 1,300 tons of waste reaches the landfill sites of Trinidad and Tobago
every day. The Styrofoam among other materials is the most common type of
material disposed of by the residential and industrial sectors. Therefore, on
August 30th 2013 the Minister of Planning and Sustainable Development of
Trinidad and Tobago, Dr. Bhoendradatt Tewarie, accepted the invitation for his
Ministry’s formal participation in the CLCPA Program and made a request to focus
on ‘Finding a sustainable alternative packaging to replace the Styrofoam
containers produced within the Printing and Packaging Industry of Trinidad and
Tobago’.
The Executive Director of
the Economic Development Board is appointed as the national authority for Trinidad and Tobago in charge of endorsing,
authorizing and guiding the implementation of activities in the production
sector of Trinidad and Tobago.
Project Description
PHASE I:
Preparation and identification of needs
This phase involves an
analysis of the industrial sector of the country and an agreement between the
Ministry of Planning and Sustainable Development and the Executive Secretariat
for Integral Development of the Organization of American State for the
implementation of the Closed Looped Cycle Production Program in Trinidad and Tobago.
PHASE II:
Policy Framework
Within this phase a review is performed
about all the policies that are in place in Trinidad and Tobago that are relevant for the project. This includes
analysis of the current Green Enterprise Development Policy of the country,
study cases of the ban of Styrofoam in other Caribbean
countries and export opportunities and regulations about packaging containers.
PHASE III: Project Feasibility Assessment
This phase is focused on (1) providing an objective comparative analysis between
the life cycle impacts of Styrofoam containers versus the potential locally
produced Biodegradable and Compostable food packaging, and (2) presenting a plan
or white paper to trigger high-level discussion regarding the possible
transition toward the increased use of compostable and sustainable packaging in
Trinidad and Tobago. The study covers three main lines of attention: Feedstock
analysis, Technology analysis, and Market analysis.
