Waste management

To understand Oman’s circularity potential, it is crucial to examine how materials are managed after use—whether they are recovered and reintegrated into the economy or lost through disposal. High-quality treatments such as recycling, composting, and energy recovery preserve material value and reduce reliance on virgin resources, while low-value treatment like landfilling and incineration reinforce a linear system and increase pollution. Effective waste treatment is therefore key to unlocking value and promoting more circular material use in Oman.
