Legal Framework and Strategies
Effective solid waste management in Lebanon requires more than technical solutions, it depends on a strong legal and policy foundation that can guide action, ensure compliance, and promote sustainable practices. Over the past decades, Lebanon has developed policies, laws, and regulations to address waste challenges, but gaps in implementation, financing, and enforcement remain significant.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system Incentivise producers to design environmentally friendly products and to reduce waste by making them responsible for related waste management.
Lebanon’s waste management system is guided by a national policy and legislative framework that aims to move the country toward more sustainable and integrated practices.
