Question hello sir
In my past researches , I had done to build recycling business , I confused because there is many recycling materials
moreover I felt that all data I obtained to study recycling is from AMERICAN & CANDIAN point of view & also matched their systems & regulation , unfortunately I m neither US nor canda resident
here it is some resources which I had got my data
(FYI DHEC office of waste reduction recycling)
( department of conservation division of recycling )
so my question to you , did I get the my data from wrong resources ?
secondly can you recommend me some resources which aid me to
obtain information about starting recycling business but in an international view which matching all regulations ?
I m live in Egypt
wish to hear from you soon
thanks
Answer Hello AJ,
Thank you for your question. I'm afraid that I am probably not much help to you, as I am only familiar with North American recycling issues and practices myself. I live in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
For more detailed information on starting a recycling business in Egypt, I would suggest you start by contacting your local Chamber of Commerce. Ask them what recycling groups or associations exist in Egypt that they can direct you to. For example, here in BC we have the Air & Waste Management Association ( http://www.awma.org ) and the Recycling Council of BC ( http://www.rcbc.bc.ca/ ). I did find a report that is available from the American Chamber of Commerce in Egypt that you may wish to purchase: http://www.amcham.org.eg/BSAC/StudiesSeries/PDF%20Files/swm.pdf
I hope that helps. Sorry I couldn't be of much more service to you.
