Overallobjective

Opportunity 1The application/adoption of LCA ED to improve the ENV.performance of the EE industry

Constraint 2EU impose an increasing

relate to Env.performance for EEE

put on EU market

Promote LCA ED among Thai EE products

Reduce EEE waste in Thailand & EU

Reduce Dangerous substances in EE products in Thailand

Improve Thai EE Mfg to access to EU markets

Build the capacity of EEI to help Thai manufacturers of EEE’s for application of LCA & ED

EEI expert have improve Knowledge how to train LCA ED

Maintenance OF long term improve capacity

Thai EE mfg are aware of EEI capacity to support

Incentive training course on LCAED of 2 EEI trainers in EU

Internal meeting transfer knowledge

Application of LCAED 4 pilot project

Follow-up mission of EU expert

Prepare training curricular

Communication seminar

A1.Build the capacity of EEI

Opportunity 2EEI has demonstration in EEE mfg

Notably for advising them on compliance with EU reg.

A2. Special attention paid to ensure maximum visibility of the EEI’s improved capacity

Constraint 1The EE Industry is strategic sector for

Thailand economy,exportI

Constraint 3EU customer are

increasingly concern env.product frainly

Many mfg of Thai EEEs can only apply LCA ED on a limited basis (limited financial resources)

Limited number of qualified LCA ED consultant

High costs for adopting LCA and ED for Thai industries

LCA ED consult to mfg 0nly one at a time and short time cannot target capacity building of the industries

Needs

EU-SPF Roadmap :Cap. building on LCA/eco-design for EEI

Need to make quality and affordable assistance available for Thai manufacturers willing to adopt LCA ED

As a result many products continue to include excessive amounts of dangerous and polluting substance
