Ministers Discuss Waste Licensing and Producer Responsibility
The ministry focused on developing the waste licensing system and implementing the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system in Egypt, with the goal of reducing waste and increasing recycling rates. The system includes issuing electronic licenses for hazardous and non-hazardous materials, along with establishing regulations and controls to ensure oversight of waste trading. The readiness of the electronic system to collect data from producers and importers was reviewed, along with identifying the materials that will be prioritized for initial implementation. The aim is to promote a circular economy and reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills, reflecting Egypt's commitment to sustainable development and international agreements.
