In Panama attention is being paid to requests for changes in the terms of the $12 million tender for the treatment of hospital waste.
Modifications to the technical specifications and postponement of the public act for the supply and installation of equipment for the treatment of hazardous hospital waste, launched the Social Security Department, are part the requests made by the companies who took part in the clarification meeting.
New rules govern generators, transporters and managers of corrosive toxic waste, reagents, and explosives which must register in a new online system.
From a statement issued by the Ministry of Environment and Energy:
The System for Hazardous Waste Management (SIGREP) is an online tool, available 24 hours 7 days a week, where both public and private actors involved, will generate relevant information at the country level.
On August 19th in Guatemala a conference will be held on the comprehensive management and export of residues and solid waste.
The Guatemalan Exporters Association (Agexport) estimates that they hope to export 196,000 tonnes of residues and solid waste, equivalent to $50 million, this year.
The absence of a long-term waste management policy is preventing the ability to take advantage of a sector which could generate significant business opportunities.
An Editorial on Nacion.com notes that "...The reasons for this lethargy, in the face of a problem that is about to overwhelm us and could be an important source of income, range from financing to lack of technological alternatives. The main stakeholders and environmental experts agree that this is a national issue, not exclusively a local one."
