LEGISLATION WATCH- A new state agency will be in charge of Egypt\u2019s waste <\/strong>management challenges<\/strong> after President Abdel Fattah El Sisi signed into law a bill that would regulate the industry, Environment Minister Yasmine Fouad said in a statement<\/a>. The new legislation, approved by the House of Representative in August<\/a>, grants the authority regulatory oversight over the waste management sector and puts it in charge of creating a national strategy to improve waste disposal and recycling. The bill also includes investment incentives<\/strong> as well as other measures to encourage garbage collectors, small companies, private contractors, and recycling centers to join the formal economy.<\/p>\n

Plugging the legislative gap could help market the sector:<\/strong> Private players in the waste management industry have been calling for government incentives to make the industry viable for outside investment, as an absence of a nationwide collection infrastructure and a market that is no longer conducive to the byproducts of recycling have been hindering investments for decades.<\/p>\n
