The Military Production Ministry signed yesterday an MoU with the UK’s BlueMAC Manufacturing to cooperate on setting up recycling factories across Egypt, the ministry said in a statement. The ministry didn’t explicitly state whether the factories will manufacture waste recycling equipment, which is a specialty of BlueMAC, or use recycled waste as a raw material for other products. The British company will soon visit one of the ministry’s factories to produce a plan for its renovation. This came following a meeting between minister Mohamed El Assar and British Ambassador Sir Geoffrey Adams, in which they discussed waste management partnerships.
