AMMAN — The Jordan Green Building Council (Jordan GBC) announced on Monday that it has become the Kingdom’s “first solid waste management centre of excellence”.

The centre, which is being supported by USAID, will sustain ongoing efforts aimed at developing a cadre of solid waste management professionals, who will in turn serve as advocates for the sector, according to a Jordan GBC statement.

“The consumption styles of citizens and companies must be changed because landfills have reached their maximum capacity,” said Jordan GBC Chairman Abdullah Bdeir. The statement quoted Wissam Rabadi, chief of party of the USAID Jordan Competitiveness Programme, as saying that “Jordan recycles less than 5 per cent of its solid waste”.
