23 May 2022 --- Egypt’s Environment Minister Dr. Yasmine Fouad has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with sustainable innovation company Okeanos Egypt to boost the country’s single-use plastic reduction aims. Okeanos’ patented Made From Stone technology makes it possible to immediately replace the majority of traditional resin with calcium carbonate, a naturally abundant and renewable mineral. Egypt aims to reduce plastic content and carbon emissions in packaging and single-use items by more than half.
