Practice of Waste Management in the Arab Region
Almost in all Arab countries general waste management concepts are still in the initial stage. Partly suitable laws were passed and some administrative structures have been established, but technical implementation, management, monitoring and financing of appropriate waste management systems are still considered to be a major challenge.
Most Arab countries have had bad experiences in the sorting plants and MBT, caused by some organizational, technical and financial factors. The target of sorting plant and MBT technology in the Arab countries is not clear until now. MBT is only pre-treatment and it is not a complete solution, it cannot expect to produce high quality compost from mixed waste and sorting of all recyclable material. The produced fractions must be utilized in recycling facilities or disposed of, high calorific fractions can be used as fuel in the cement industry or power station plant while the organic fractions can be used for cultivation and land reclamation works. Tunisia and Jordan are in the preparation phase of pilot projects for sorting and MBT. Kuwait is a good potential market for MBTTechnologies now.

© Wasteconsult International (5/2011)
In I.R. Iran with respect to 0.64 Kg/Cap.day garbage, near 48,000 ton of solid waste is produced daily. Regarding to high percentage of biodegradable material in this waste, production of 10,000 ton/day of fine compost is possible. At this time, only 15 active composting plants are available in Iran and if all of them act with nominal capacity, only 12% of the total produced municipal solid waste will be processed and reminder will be disposed with the other methods.
