Morocco Faces $1.2B Plastic Pollution Cost
A report by Greenpeace revealed that plastic pollution costs Morocco approximately $1.2 billion annually, equivalent to 0.8% of the country's gross domestic product. This is due to the economic and environmental damages caused by the widespread presence of plastics, especially along the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts. Morocco produces around 3.97 million tons of solid waste each year, including 422,000 tons of plastics, with the management of 250,000 tons deteriorating, and about 75,000 tons being dumped into the sea annually. Greenpeace has recommended urgent measures, such as strengthening waste sorting processes, completing waste collection services in rural areas, activating producer responsibility, and improving waste management through funding and employing informal workers to reduce environmental and economic impacts—particularly within the context of the regional crisis affecting the Mediterranean Sea.
