4.1.6.5 Sustainable Water Taps Status in Lebanon
The labeling scheme in the water taps/Toilet flushs category is relatively small in
the Lebanese market though it is available internationally. However, the products
provided above are highly sutainable.So it is highly recommended to switch to
these products in the new projects established by the governement.
4.2 National Initiatives
Although Lebanon is enraged with regional and local conflicts, there are a
handful of sustainable national initiatives undertaken by the private sector and
subsidized by the Lebanese government whose involvement is felt especially
through pilot projects implemented through CEDRO (Country Energy Efficiency
and Renewable Energy Demonstration Project for the Recovery of Lebanon). In
addition different ministries such as the Ministry of Energy and Water, Ministry of
Environment, Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Agriculture, and Ministry of Social
affairs among others are formulating and/or implementing pilot projects which
focus primarily on sustainability factors. In addition the Association of the
Lebanese Industrialists recently announced a new program in cooperation with
the Ministry of Environment. The following list provides a starting point for
national initiatives although not all inclusive. Details about below initiatives can
be found respectively in Appendix H.
