The mechanical-biological pre-treatment of wastes has far-reaching effects on the
construction and operation of landfills. The emplacement and storage behaviour of the
mechanical-biological pre-treated waste (MBW) in the landfill will fundamentally different itself
in many areas from the experiences which have been gained in the past with the operation of
landfills for municipal solid waste (MSW). The change of the structure of the landfilled waste is
decisive for a modified settlement and stability behaviour. The aftercare phase of the landfill is
distinctly reduced because of the lower emissions compared to untreated wastes. MBW plants
and landfill operation must be considered in conjunction as the MBW has a significant influence
on the waste to be landfilled which lead to differing consequences for the landfill operation.

The meeting, held during Awad’s visit to the Red Sea Governorate to mark World Environment Day, focused on assessing current challenges facing waste collection, sorting, recycling and disposal operations, as well as identifying priority actions to strengthen the system’s performance. Awad stressed that the government places significant importance on developing an integrated waste management system in the Red Sea Governorate, given its strategic importance as one of Egypt’s leading tourism destinations. She emphasized the need to comply with environmental and technical standards governing sanitary landfills, waste treatment facilities and environmentally sound disposal practices. During the meeting, officials reviewed the current status of waste management operations in Hurghada, including collection, transportation, sorting, recycling and final disposal activities. Discussions also covered the infrastructure upgrades required to improve system efficiency and ensure the proper operation of sanitary landfill facilities. Yasser Abdullah, head of Egypt’s Waste Management Regulatory Authority, presented updates on temporary waste collection and sorting sites and outlined measures to strengthen operational management and oversight. He highlighted the importance of improving monitoring mechanisms for waste handling activities and maximizing the recovery of recyclable materials while reducing informal and unregulated practices.
