Green Track

The Challenge

Outside the Greater Beirut Area “solid waste continues to be managed in a manner that is not protective of either human health and/or the environment.” Consumption follows a linear model where products are bought, used, and disposed of in over-capacity landfills or end up in the environment. This is because Lebanon’s nascent recycling industry is largely located in Beirut, while Tripoli has a very low share of this circular economy. Plans have been made to tackle this issue through public private partnerships, though none have thus far been successfully implemented. This is evident in the fact that the Tripoli Landfill still receives an average of 450 tons/day out of the 1000 tonnes of waste the North Governorate produces.

This is partially caused by the manner in which the Solid Waste Management sector is organised. SWM services are provided by the private sector through regional solid waste contracts, which increased regional monopoly powers, and reduced competition and therefore efficiency. For this reason, Tripoli has seen a very low share in the recycling of materials, with few Green Jobs created in the SWM sector.

Our Solution

Green Track promotes ‘sorting at source’ of household waste and offers a free collection service for citizens in and around Tripoli, reducing local environmental degradation. Green Track strives to recycle these materials as far as possible so they can be re-used by domestic industry a circular economy model
