At the face-to-face segment of its 12th meeting in April 2022, the OEWG considered the revised draft practical guidance on the development of inventories of plastic waste, obsolete pesticides and pesticide-container waste, and waste batteries containing lithium (documents UNEP/CHW/OEWG.12/INF/15/rev1, UNEP/CHW/OEWG.12/INF/16/rev1 and UNEP/CHW/OEWG.12/INF/17/rev1, respectively). The Working group agreed to recommend to the Conference of the Parties at its resumed fifteenth meeting that it consider using at the basis for its work the versions of the draft practical guidance set out in UNEP/CHW/OEWG.12/INF/15/Rev.2, UNEP/CHW/OEWG.12/INF/16/Rev.2 and UNEP/CHW/OEWG.12/INF/17/Rev.2. It also agreed that Parties and observers be invited to submit comments to the Secretariat on these documents, by 28 April 2022.
