Tunis Waste management: fostering circular economy

To date, in Tunisia, dumping was still the option adopted for the disposal of household waste. A national strategy is currently being developed and should lead to integrated management, human capacity building and the development of the circular economy. Tunisian authorities are implementing a new solid waste management system at the scale of the country’s main population basin and industrial hub: the «Greater Tunis» metropolitan region.

The UMDF is engaged in financing the design of a new solid waste management system, environmentally and economically sustainable.
