Port of Beirut – Hazardous Waste Recovery
After the 2020 explosion in the Port of Beirut, Trade Waste International led and coordinated on-site operations together with European partners and local response teams to ensure the safe repackaging, removal, and export of toxic chemical residues. The Port of Beirut acted as the contracting authority. All activities were carried out in full compliance with international regulations and implemented safely and responsibly.
In 2021, Trade Waste International was recalled to Beirut by the United Nations. On behalf of the UN, our team trained customs authorities and civil defence personnel in the safe handling of hazardous chemicals and ensured a secure, environmentally compliant transport to final disposal
