Suleiman stated that the Ministry of Environment seeks to expand the scope of green environmental projects that contribute to job creation and sustainable growth. He noted that the Ministry is currently working on simplifying its procedures by amending the environmental classification and licensing system to help create a suitable business environment, remove obstacles facing industrialists, and achieve a balance between investment project sustainability and environmental protection.
He added that the Ministry is working to encourage and enhance green production in Jordan, developing it in line with global trends in environmental sustainability, alongside improving the waste collection, transport, and recycling system in cooperation with relevant authorities.
For his part, the Chairman of the Jordan and Amman Chambers of Industry, Engineer Fathi Al-Jaghbir, emphasized the industrial sector's commitment to consolidating its role as a primary supporter of the national economy. He pointed out that industry is the most capable sector for creating job opportunities for citizens, calling for the encouragement of recycling investments by establishing a flexible and stimulating regulatory environment for projects operating in this field. He explained that the factory is an entirely Jordanian investment that sorts and recycles industrial waste from several factories specializing in mineral, engineering, and plastic industries using the latest specialized equipment.
In turn, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of "City Metals," Engineer Abdullah Al-Shawabkeh, explained that the factory is a fully Jordanian investment specializing in sorting and recycling metal and plastic industrial waste using state-of-the-art equipment, aiming to return these materials to production lines instead of landfilling them. He also noted that the company is working on establishing a new copper and zinc recycling plant at a cost of 40 million dinars, which will be the first of its kind in the region and will provide more than 250 job opportunities.
