Lebanon Recycling





Many people have been asking me about recycling. I think this might help.
The main recycling plants that deal with paper and cardboard in Lebanon are the Lebanese Recycling Works in Roumieh, SOLICAR in Wadi Shahrour ( you can collect the paper by the end of the month and take it there) , SIPCO in Kfarchima, SICOMO in Qab Elias, NINEX in Zouk Mosbeh, Unipack in Halat and Mimoza in Qaa al-Rim. The price that recycling plants pay for used paper and cardboard ranges from LL40,000 per ton to LL142,500 per ton, depending on the quality of the paper and the market. Cardboard is usually more expensive than paper. NINEX ships in pulp from outside Lebanon, and said they paid “Between $80 per ton and $200 per ton” for cardboard, and “$120 and up” for regular white paper. 



Recycling in Lebanon




The country’s main glass recycling plants are Soliver in Shoueifat and Maliban in Chtaura. Solivere pays LL37,500 to LL45,000 per ton for white or green glass, and Maliban said they paid LL75,000 to LL90,000 per ton for single-colored glass, no matter the color. 
The main plastic recycling plants are Mazar Plast in the Bekaa, Rocky Plast in Jbeil, and the Lebanese Recycling Works, which also recycle paper. Mazar plast said they paid $100-$120 per ton for unshredded plastic, and $150-$170 per ton for shredded plastic. 
Liban Fonderies in Roumieh and Ohanis Kasarjian in Kfarschima are the primary recycling plants for all kinds of metals, including scrap metal. The price they pay for metals depends on “international market rates” and they won’t pick up metal."
