Waste Management Forum Oman 2013

Waste management is a sector that has seen a vast increase in the recent times given the global concerns with environment and health. Reports rate the GCC as one of the world’s worst polluters. However, Oman has made significant progress towards waste management thanks to the stand taken by the Sultan of Oman. The government has established 16 modern landfills, 65 waste transfer stations and 5 treatment plants as its initial step towards meeting the global standards of waste management. Progress has started, however, issues lie with the lack of a structured regulation. After a series of highly appreciated conferences pertaining to waste management in the Middle East, Fleming Gulf will host the Waste Management Forum Oman which will track the progress and initiatives taken by Oman to tackle waste across the domestic, commercial, industrial and medical sectors.
