Customer ServiceShip-generated waste is the only quarantine waste in Tuvalu and falls under the responsibility of the Department of Marine and Ports. The waste is collected in drop-off waste cages at Funafuti wharf and emptied and collected by DWM and taken to the dumpsite. The condition of waste collection equipment is noted to be generally good.
Almost 1642 tonnes and 7000m3 of materials of interest are generated in Tuvalu (all islands) each year. The banned single use plastic items represent 6% of the material currently entering the waste stream and approximately 253 to 421 m3 of material that will not be required to be managed at the landfill.
The E-Waste and lead acid batteries are stockpiled at the TS leading to ease of recovery when transport options are available. Almost 1642 tonnes and 7000m3 of materials of interest are generated in Tuvalu (all islands) each year.
Data shows that this accounts for 96% of EOL vehicles, 40% of E-waste and 86% of lead acid batteries generated annually. The E-Waste and lead acid batteries are stockpiled at the TS leading to ease of recovery when transport options are available.
In total, we found 680 m3 of ferrous materials in stockpiles, weighing 113 tonnes. This represents by volume around 6% of annual Tuvalu waste generation and 8% of annual waste generation by weight. Data shows that this accounts for 96% of EOL vehicles, 40% of E-waste and 86% of lead acid batteries generated annually.
As there are no storage facilities for hazardous waste such as asbestos or chemicals, there are no collections for these wastes. Ship-generated waste is the only quarantine waste in Tuvalu and falls under the responsibility of the Department of Marine and Ports.
