- Review international best practices, standards, and guidelines for waste management in the mineral fertilizers industry.
- Develop technical guidelines for the handling, storage, collection, transportation, treatment, and disposal of fertilizer industry waste.
- Conduct stakeholder consultations and workshops to validate and refine the proposed guidelines.
- Finalize and publish the Technical Guidelines for Waste Management in the Mineral Fertilizers Industry in both English and Arabic.
- Deliver capacity-building and awareness sessions to support effective implementation and compliance with the guidelines.
