Geocycle's sustainable contributions to waste management

Contributions ofGeocycleSustainable waste management

Integrated waste management represents a key element in any local or regional strategy. To preserve the environment and combat pollution and climate change. This, in turn, opened the door to the emergence of a new industrial and service sector based on organizing waste management, starting from collection and transportation, through sorting, separation, primary treatment, and even recycling factories.

The political leadership in Egypt was aware of the importance of the waste management file, Law No. (202) of 2020, regulating waste management, was issued to set the regulatory framework and broad lines for the future of waste in Egypt.

GeocycleUnique Model

Companies operating in this promising sector have a dual impact, as they help preserve the environment by disposing of waste - in an environmentally safe manner - and support the local economy at the same time. Among the most prominent of these companies with real achievements on the ground are: Geocycle Egypt; This company, which began its operations in Egypt in 2011 until now, has been able during these years to be an ideal model in waste management, thanks to its smart strategies in waste management, recycling, and energy recovery. To have a strong green footprint in achieving many Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the most important of which are the twelfth goal (responsible production and consumption), and the fifteenth goal (life on land).

Among the notable achievements of GeoCycle Egypt, which was followed by Earth Protectors: It disposes - in an environmentally safe manner - of hundreds of tons of hazardous and non-hazardous waste present in the ports of Alexandria, Safaga, and Adabiya. To protect the air and water environment from the leakage of these harmful compounds; In order to achieve the fourteenth goal of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (life under water), as well as the thirteenth goal (climate action).

Hierarchy in waste management

It should be noted that Geo Cycle provides a number of ports necessary to deal with agricultural waste, rubber waste, spent oils and grease, chemical waste, and industrial waste of all kinds, including expired products, production waste, and others. Which means that it contributes - directly - to achieving environmental sustainability, by preventing these wastes from infiltrating our environmental systems.

As we know, the sound scientific and applied basis for waste management is subject to what is known as the Waste Management Hierarchy, which is the sequence that begins with reducing waste generation from the source, moving through reuse whenever possible, then recovery and recycling, or the final option of safe disposal, which is the same basis that we found followed in Geo Cycle’s work policy.

Thanks to its precise strategy, which led to all of the above sustainable achievements on the ground; GeoCycle Egypt was an institution worthy of being on the pages of Earth Protectors. In appreciation of your efforts, and as an incentive to make moresustainable steps.
