Foreign firms interested in investing in waste disposal: Official

He made the remarks after signing an environmental cooperation memorandum of understanding (MoU) with National Environment Fund late on Wednesday when he added that unfortunately, traditional thinking did not allow the investors to undertake the project.

Referring to the significance of paying attention to environmental issues including principled disposal of industrial and non-standard wastes, he said that the issue can play a crucial role in generating jobs and reducing environmental pollutants.
