Greenpeace MENA condemn the decision of the Council of Ministers to adopt the Ministry of Environment waste roadmap.<\/p>\n

Reacting to this decision, Julien Jreissati Campaigner at Greenpeace MENA said: \u201cThis roadmap will decide the Lebanese people\u2019s fate for the next 30 years as it locks in 3 incinerators that could potentially be a source of disaster for the country\u201d. \u201cWaste incineration is simply incompatible with the Lebanese context and potentially dangerous due to the country\u2019s economic situation, poor governance records and waste mix\u201d, continued Jreissati.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe demand the government to reconsider their decision and adopt instead a waste management plan centered around the concept of circular economy that focuses primarily on minimizing the quantity of waste we dispose of through reducing, reusing and recycling instead of feeding them to an incinerator that will keep asking for more and will convert municipal waste to toxic ashes that we cannot treat!\u201d concluded Jreissati.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
