REQUEST FOR QUOTATION FOR THE ROLE OF LOCAL PROJECT PARTNER IN NIGERIA FOR THE PROJECT:
“Partnership for Responsible Battery and Metal Recycling (ProBaMet)”
Unsound lead-acid battery (ULAB) recycling is recognised as a key health and environmental concern in many low and middle-income countries. The batteries are used in cars, off-grid solar energy applications or back-up power systems. Under the right conditions ULABs can be effectively recycled and the high market price of lead can make this a profitable business. However, in many world regions recycling takes place in sub-standard, highly dangerous and unsafe conditions that release toxic lead-compounds to the workplace and surrounding environment.
Aims of the project
The ProBaMet project aims to support upgrades to the sector through working with Key stakeholders, including regulatory authorities, recycling companies and other relevant players in the supply chain of batteries and lead. With this, the project aims at catalysing improvements in the lead-acid battery recycling industry in Nigeria using an approach combining regulatory means and market drivers.
Brief Scope of the assignment
Oeko-lnstitut as the organisation coordinating the ProBaMet project looks for a local organisation in Nigeria with a strong background in the fields of hazardous Waste management, industry standards and national regulatory frameworks. The organisation must participate in the dedicated ProBaMet project team in the role of a local project partner.
