In response to the request of the Lebanese Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Industry, WES has developed an activity to contribute to the gradual phasing out of single-use plastics (SUPs) in Lebanon, entitled “Policy support to address single-use plastic items in Lebanon”. The kick-off of the activity marked the launch of a set of tasks for data gathering and analysis on the country’s SUPs sector, the examination of potential socioeconomic effects of various policy measures relevant to SUPs, and for supporting extensive sector stakeholder dialogue, in view of proposing context-appropriate policy options to tackle SUPs issues.
