Tunis Daily Reports Plastic Overload
The article addresses the plastic waste crisis in Tunisia, where the country consumes approximately 4.2 billion plastic bags annually, with 60% of plastic waste not being properly managed. This leads to pollution of the environment and oceans, posing risks to public health and the economy, especially the maritime sector and tourism. It calls for the reorganization of waste collection and separation systems at the source, and encourages the sector to adopt recycling as an economic opportunity for youth. Additionally, it emphasizes the need to support the Pollution Resistance Fund and motivate specialized institutions. The article also affirms that solutions require a collective will from both the government and citizens, including developing the legal framework and improving treatment techniques to reduce the damage caused by plastics to the environment and maritime industries, with the economic cost of plastic pollution estimated at over $20 million annually.
