Morocco’s Hazardous Waste Industry Expands Despite Pandemic Challenges

Despite the health crisis in Morocco, the hazardous waste market is booming, prompting many companies to invest in it.
Since the beginning of the year, 7 new operators have received authorization from the Department of the Environment: three for the collection and transport of this hazardous waste and 4 for its treatment and recovery; a total of 62 companies in the Kingdom: 45 in collection and transport and 17 in charge of treatment and recovery. According to the daily Les Inspirations ECO, despite the health crisis, the company Chimirec Maroc SARL is already in the process of expanding its plant, even though it has only started its activities in the Kingdom a few months ago.
While the objective of its company is to help producers of this waste to get rid of it in compliance with regulations and nature, explains Jihane Sehli, commercial director of Chimirec Maroc SARL, it is noted that its company derives significant profits from it. The newspaper announces increasing turnover at the end of 2020, despite the Covid-19 crisis.
According to the statistics of the Department of the Environment, Morocco produced 5.4 million tons of industrial waste in 2015; 5.9 million tons of household and similar waste in urban areas and 1.5 million tons in rural areas.
