The International Recycling and Waste Management Exhibition comes at a time when Morocco produces six million tons of waste, an average of about 250 kg per capita per year. However, the country relies on various initiatives undertaken by the government and its private partners such as Averda, Suez and Managem, companies involved in sanitation and pollution control.
