Building on the increased awareness/understanding on the significance of the 3Rs at the policy level, and to foster the development, adaptation, and scaling up of environmentally friendly 3R technologies, the main objectives of the Third Meeting of the Regional 3R Forum in Asia will be to:
Address 3R technologies (including technologies that reduce virgin material input as well as technologies that encourage use of recycled resources);
Address and identify policies and institutional frameworks for the promotion of the 3Rs technologies, including those that contribute to attracting investment and promoting business to business technology transfer;
Address and identify opportunities for collaborative actions and partnerships including bilateral, multilateral and regional supporting mechanisms to promote 3R technology transfer; and
Contribute towards enhanced regional input to the UNCSD 2012 (Rio+20) by addressing 3R technologies towards Green Economy.
