Waste Device Uses 1.6M Tons of Waste Annually
Yasser Abdul Allah, Head of the Waste Management Regulation Authority, announced that Egypt is moving towards implementing the principle of "material recovery" for plastics. Currently, studies and procedures are underway to trace the lifecycle of bottles from production to recycling. He explained that a producer's responsibility does not end once the product is placed in the market; it continues when the product becomes waste. Bottles are collected and their components separated by recycling companies, with licensed factories capable of handling the waste volume. He emphasized that the main issue lies in organic waste, food residues, and packaging bags. The recycling system aims to gradually increase the recovery rate from 20% to 100%, while improving recycling efficiency—which currently exceeds 50% and aims to reach 80%. Additionally, Egypt utilizes approximately 1.6 million tons of waste annually as alternative fuel in cement factories, while also relying on recycling organic components for agricultural and land reclamation projects.
