🌍 Empowering Sustainable Waste Management: Circul8 Training for EPR Implementation in Egypt and Tunisia 🌿
On the 25th of February 2025, Landbell successfully conducted an insightful training session on the Circul8 platform in Alexandria, Egypt, for the Waste Management Regulatory Authority (WMRA) and in Tunisia for the National Agency for Waste Management (ANGed). These institutions are pivotal in the establishment of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes aimed at enhancing sustainable waste management practices in the region.
The training highlighted the use of Circul8 for the implementation of an EPR register, specifically tailored for the tourism sector's waste management needs. The presentation underscored the importance of data collection, integration, and management within Circul8, allowing for effective tracking and reporting of packaging materials and waste types. 📊
Key insights from the presentation included:
- Product Categories and Types: Detailed categorisation of food and beverage, personal care, hygiene, and cleaning products, with emphasis on packaging material types such as aluminium, steel, cardboard, and various plastics. 🥤🧴
- Waste Collection and Treatment: Proposed schedules for waste collection and the types of materials processed at the TouMaLi facility, including mixed plastics, paper, glass, and metals. 🗑️
- Data Integration: Strategies for integrating data into Circul8 to support EPR register requirements, ensuring accurate reporting and compliance. 📈
This initiative marks a significant step towards sustainable waste management in Egypt and Tunisia, aligning with TouMaLi´s mission to empower clients to address environmental challenges through expert research and strategic policy development. Let's work together to make it happen! 🤝
