ABSTRACT
Since the containment measures placed in several countries to deal with Covid-19 pandemic, air and noise pollution has been significantly reduced, but what about soil pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from waste management? Covid-19 has given a break to the earth by immobilizing a very large part of the world economy, industrial activity, and transport and by having an important modification on the Moroccan consumer behaviour. This demographic evolution and change of consumption do not infect the resources, but are a source of degradation and pollution of the different environmental components. Among these sources, we find the production of household and similar waste. Our objective is to rate the impact of this pandemic on waste production, in Ajdir landfill, El Hoceima, which reflects the activity of the Moroccan citizen (between March 20 and April 27, 2020), and the initiatives that have been taken and launched to solve the problems at the level of each province through the establishment of a provincial master plan for the management of household and similar waste. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
