Al-Zein discusses new waste management tools
The Lebanese government, through the Ministry of Environment, emphasized the importance of improving solid waste management by distributing new equipment, including sorting facilities and landfills in the Jeb Jinn, Zahle, and Baalbek areas. This is part of the "Recycle" project, funded by the European Union and implemented in collaboration with the United Nations Development Program. The initiative aims to strengthen the capacities of municipalities, improve waste collection processes, and reduce dependence on the old landfills that have reached their capacity. This will be achieved by developing source separation facilities, enhancing landfill operations, and reinforcing local oversight. Additionally, there was a focus on the necessity of securing funding to establish a new landfill in Jeb Jinn, improve and increase the efficiency of the sorting plant in Zahle, and address the environmental emergency caused by the fire in one of the cells at the Baalbek landfill. The ultimate goal is to establish a more sustainable waste management system and reduce environmental risks.
