The Jordan Restaurant Association (JRA), represented by its Technical Manager and Advisor, Eng. Mohammad Al-Minha, and Saifaldeen Al-Rahahleh the Business Partnerships and Program Coordinator, participated in a consultative meeting for the "Feasibility Study for PET Bottle Recycling in Jordan" project. The meeting was held at the invitation of the Ministry of Environment and in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

The project aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the local market, work mechanisms, and supply chains related to recycling factories, in addition to creating an initial database of national industries operating in this field. The meeting was attended by a select group of experts and specialists in environmental and industrial affairs.

During the meeting, Eng. Al-Minha highlighted the importance of establishing a clear technical reference for specifications related to the raw materials and final products resulting from the recycling of PET bottles. He also stressed the need to provide an accurate database for consumers in the tourism sector, which would help enhance the efficiency of collection and recycling operations.

The Jordan Restaurant Association's participation in this meeting underscores its commitment to supporting national initiatives aimed at promoting environmental sustainability and developing the green economy in the Kingdom. The association recognizes the importance of waste management, particularly plastic waste, in the restaurant sector. It seeks to find sustainable solutions and practices that contribute to reducing the environmental footprint of tourism establishments. The JRA also reaffirms its continuous pursuit of collaboration with all relevant parties to develop eco-friendly practices in the Jordanian tourism restaurant sector, serving the Kingdom's vision for a more sustainable future.
