Jordan Phosphate Mines Co. (JPMC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to recycle and manufacture phosphogypsum material produced at its Industrial complex in Aqaba and transform it into chemical products, the company announced in a July 11 filing to the Amman stock exchange.
JPMC said recycling manufacturing and “optimally disposing” of this material contributes to the conservation of the environment and achieves the interests of both parties. The producer did not disclose the name of the co-signee.
Recycled manufacturing phosphogypsum material can be used in agricultural activities or in construction work and roads, according to opinions and technical experiments, said JPMC.
