Community Impact

ZeroCarbon's facilities serve approximately 3 million citizens by enhancing waste management treatment and disposal in the governorates. The company's waste recycling plant in Port Said has notably diverted over 1 million tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) from being dumped in Lake Manzala, thus protecting this vital environmental resource.

Health and Environmental Benefits

In addition to its broader community impact, ZeroCarbon has focused on improving the lives and health of the 10,000 residents in the remote rural area of AbuBalah, Ismailia. By providing a regulated waste management solution, the company has alleviated an unregulated garbage crisis, allowing local agricultural practices to thrive and enhancing overall community well-being.

Workforce Diversity

ZeroCarbon employs over 240 individuals, including 75 women, reflecting its commitment to diversity and inclusion within its workforce. This focus on gender representation is particularly significant in a sector traditionally dominated by men. The female workforce includes young women, mothers, and grandmothers, thereby enhancing their economic prospects and well-being.

Community Support in Abu Balah

The company has made substantial efforts to improve the lives of residents in Abu Balah, a rural community in southern Ismailia with limited job opportunities for women. ZeroCarbon's Ismailia Waste Management Facility employs 32 women from this community, in waste sorting and in the Eco-Handicrafts initiative.
