Environment Activities

This activity aims to improve the sorting, collection and recovery system for PET beverage packaging waste in Morocco through the establishment of Extended Producers Responsibility (EPR) in the PET sector. Through this joint initiative, supported and led by all stakeholders involved in the management and recovery of PET bottle packaging as part of a sustainable EPR model, stock will be taken of relevant already existing initiatives, effective dialogue among all stakeholders involved in the sector will be facilitated, a monitoring group for the implementation of EPR in the PET bottles sector (COPIL) will be set up and a roadmap and a work plan, for the establishment of an operational model for the management of PET beverage packaging based on the principle of EPR will be prepared.

Support will be provided to finalise the national action plan based on the consolidated findings of ongoing marine litter activities and for the implementation of selected priority measures. It will also support Morocco's efforts to meet its commitments under the Barcelona Convention.

WES is to support Jordan and Morocco in designing a national public awareness campaign (for each country) to inform consumers (and other stakeholders) about the environmental impacts of SUPs, the need to change consumption behaviour and what the competent authorities are doing in this direction.
