Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

Sustainable Development Goal 12 (SDG 12) aims to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. This goal is essential for reducing our ecological footprint, promoting resource efficiency, and creating a more sustainable global economy.

Responsible Consumption & Production: Abu Qir is deeply committed to ensuring that every stage of our production process is characterized by minimal waste generation, the most efficient use of energy, and a comprehensive approach to waste management and recycling even after production is complete. We maintain a proactive approach to machinery upkeep, which leads to heightened energy efficiency, reduced harmful emissions, fewer spare parts, and extended machine lifespans, contributing to a sustainable production process. In addition to machinery maintenance, we closely monitor our raw material usage to prevent unnecessary excesses, thus ensuring responsible consumption and minimizing waste. This dedication aligns with our commitment to environmental responsibility and efficiency, leaving no room for wastage. Importantly, all our products are designed with safety in mind, adhering to market regulations without any prohibitions.

Effective solid waste management is a crucial aspect of our commitment to environmental sustainability and responsible corporate citizenship. Abu Qir Fertilizers Company strongly emphasizes implementing comprehensive waste management practices to minimize environmental impact, promote resource conservation, and adhere to regulatory requirements. Our waste management process begins with adequately segregating waste materials. We classify waste into various categories, including regular domestic solid waste, general hazardous waste, liquid hazardous waste, and medical hazardous waste. This segregation allows us to handle each type of waste with the appropriate procedures to prevent contamination and promote recycling or responsible disposal.

WASTE DISPOSAL AND TREATMENT

We follow strict disposal and treatment protocols for waste materials that cannot be recycled. These protocols ensure that the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA). The disposal methods are selected to minimize the environmental impact, and we maintain records of waste disposal activities to monitor and verify compliance.

WASTE REDUCTION AND MINIMIZATION:

As part of our commitment to reducing waste generation, we continuously work on waste reduction and minimization strategies within our operations. By implementing more efficient processes and exploring opportunities for waste prevention, we aim to decrease the volume of waste generated and minimize its environmental impact.
