Summary

The International Solid Waste Association (ISWA) used data from Lebanon’s Ministry of Environment and Office of the Minister of State for Administrative Reform (OMSAR) surveys in 2005, 2011-2016, and 2018 to develop inputs for the Solid Waste Emissions Estimation Tool (SWEET). Comparing the SWEET results, the authors find that the largest emissions reductions come from the combination of closing and remediating dumpsites, ending waste burning, and building a sanitary landfill to receive all waste disposal.
