Oman: ‘Plastic Waste to Fuel’ project has Benefits for Oman

1 December 2019

Oman Observer reports on plans to curb in plastic waste

Oman’s ground-breaking bid to convert large quantities of plastic waste being generated annually around the country into commercially valuable fuel has economic and environmental game-changing benefits for the Sultanate.

According to research, success in the commercialisation of this technological process will not only provide an effective and sustainable solution to the plastic waste impeding on the natural environmental, but will also open up new commercial opportunities and revenue streams for the Omani economy.
The technology has the potential to support the growth of a circular economy around plastics, while positioning the Sultanate as a pioneer in plastic waste management globally.

According to be’ah, the Sultanate’s solid waste management flagship, plastics account for as much as 20 per cent of the estimated two million tons of municipal waste generated across the country every year.
