Minister of Environment Ayman Suleiman met with President of Türkiye’s Zero Waste Foundation Samed Ağırbaş to discuss advancing bilateral cooperation in waste management, the circular economy, and environmental partnerships.

Held on the sidelines of the 31st UN Climate Change Conference (COP31) in Antalya, Türkiye, the talks focused on leveraging Türkiye’s "Zero Waste" model–specifically in driving community engagement, instilling sound environmental practices, shifting waste-disposal behaviors, and converting waste into economically valuable resources.

Suleiman emphasized that expanding collaboration in this sector will bolster Jordan’s efforts to meet its environmental and climate targets in alignment with the priorities of its third Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0).

Ağırbaş underscored the importance of deepening strategic ties with Jordan and expanding technical and operational knowledge exchange in sustainable waste management and circular economy frameworks.

Both sides agreed to form a joint technical committee to draft a comprehensive memorandum of understanding (MoU) before year-end, covering waste-sorting infrastructure development, curbing illegal dumping, promoting circular economy investments, and generating green jobs.

They also mapped out an exchange schedule for 2027, including a visit by a Turkish delegation to Amman next January to finalize and sign the MoU and explore joint pilot projects, alongside Suleiman’s participation in the International Zero Waste Forum scheduled to convene in Türkiye in June 2027.
