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.

Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
