Vodafone’s Efforts In Keeping A Sustainable Environment
Vodafone Egypt has been constantly raising awareness, doing efforts, and launching initiatives to keep the environment safe.
Vodafone has 3 buildings including the headquarters in Smart Village and its Data Center in Beni Suif that are powered by solar energy. The company made sure to dispose of all of the non-essential plastic material in all of its headquarters and branches and replaced its plastic bags with cloth bags.
Through the report documented by the Global Reporting Initiative, Vodafone revealed all the details regarding its environmental activities and recently Vodafone Egypt partnered with The Ministry of Environment and launched a campaign to promote one of the biggest environmental initiatives.

E-Tadweer To Recycle Electronic Waste
In a simple yet creative advert, Vodafone had introduced E-Tadweer to us.
E-Tadweer is an application that enables the user to give back their old phone in exchange for discounts on the new one; you can do so by heading to one of the addresses listed on the application. This initiative aims to raise awareness around the necessity of the safe disposal of electronic waste.
Since many people buy new phones every year and leave their old ones behind, a recent study proved that Egypt generates around 500 -600 KT per year of e-waste and the domestic sector generates 23% of this e-waste.
So, through Vodafone’s campaign of E-Tadweer, people will be encouraged to exchange their old phones to get coupons, discounts, and collect points
