PeaceWadi and JoReC further strengthen ties
PeaceWadi and JoReC (organization designated to promote recycling of waste in Jordan) are joining forces to achieve a cleaner environment of Jordan, by jointly setting up a single use plastic reduction project.
As a response to the COVID pandemic, people are using much more plastic bottles than before. It is expected that the consumption of plastic bottles will stay on a high level after the corona pandemic, as people get more used to bottled water. Up to now, there is no regulated national Waste Separation and Recycling system in place in the Kingdom of Jordan. Currently bottles end up in landfills or incineration plants, accompanied by its negative impact on the environment of the kingdom. The project aims to reduce the single use plastics by raising awareness and offering practical alternatives to drinking water distribution.
Applying for cooperation with the Jordan Ministry of Environment is an exciting step. JoReC has a good track record on positive environmental impact and we are excited to invest our time and energy in one of the PeaceWadi missions, which is a cleaner Jordanian environment.
“We are proud to announce our cooperation, setting up further efforts to achieve a cleaner environment in Jordan”
