        Most MENA countries primarily implement Circular Economy principles in fragmented\u00a0silos: waste management activities, focusing on disposal, recovery, and recycling; rather than a systemic product lifecycle approach. EPR is steadily gaining traction across the MENA region as governments adopt policies to shift waste management costs and accountability to producers. Countries such as Egypt and Jordan have introduced enabling legislation and early implementation measures. Established systems already operate in Tunisia, whereas others\u2014like Morocco and Lebanon\u2014are developing EPR roadmaps. Overall, the region is transitioning from fragmented recycling initiatives toward structured producer responsibility schemes aligned with global circular economy goals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
