Recycling & Waste Management

1-Vodafone Egypt is putting efforts to find opportunities for waste recycling and better management and work with local recycling businesses to better manage the waste from our operations.

3-Customers were offered an EGP 10 recharge card incentive for recycling old phones in Vodafone retail stores and dealers. Through working with suppliers and local partners, we are able to recycle over 350 tons of e-waste (batteries) as well as over 100 tons of other hazardous waste from our sites annually.

2-Vodafone Egypt regularly launches Handset Recycling Initiatives and in 2010 we achieved a record 132,200 handsets recycled in the year ending March 2011.

4- Some of our other initiatives include our cooperation with Hurghada Environmental Protection and Conservation Association (HEPCA), supporting them to recycle more than 6 tons of waste per year from Makadi Bay, Suma Bay, and the surrounding areas
