Aqaba, July 1 (Petra) - Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) on Wednesday launched the second phase of its "Hotspots" environmental campaign in the Southern Industrial Zone (SIZ) to eliminate illegal dumping sites, remove construction debris, and improve environmental sustainability.
Taghreed Maaytah, ASEZA's Director of Environment Protection and Sustainability Directorate, said the campaign focuses on cleaning critical ecological hotspots, clearing debris, and educating industrial zone businesses on proper waste management.
The initiative reflects a coordinated effort between public institutions and the private sector to improve environmental compliance, curb illegal waste disposal, and preserve Aqaba's urban environment, according to Maaytah.
The campaign, she added, is part of ASEZA's "broader' environmental program, aimed at reducing random waste dumping and supporting "long-term" environmental sustainability across the city.
