Cost to recycle a ton of waste
The article discusses the Kingdom’s efforts to transform agricultural waste from an environmental burden into an economic opportunity by recycling instead of burning it, with an annual volume of approximately 47 million tons. The awareness session explained that recycling waste such as palm fronds, straw, manure, and plastic residues can help reduce pollution and achieve financial savings, as one ton of recycled waste saves more than 170 riyals, compared to losses of up to 400 riyals when burning. The article also highlighted successful local experiments in converting waste into industrial products such as compost, furniture, and biofuel, along with significantly reducing waste fires and increasing agricultural productivity. Emphasis was placed on the importance of adhering to new regulations that ban waste burning, which impose penalties of up to 10 million riyals on offenders.
