Championing Sustainability
As a beacon of sustainable practices, Oxagon integrates cutting-edge
technologies to minimize its environmental impact. Paolo Carlomagno, partner at
Arthur D. Little Middle East, emphasizes that Oxagon aligns with Vision 2030’s
goals of creating a diversified economy while reducing ecological footprints.
“For instance, Oxagon’s logistics operations utilize renewable energy
sources like solar and wind, reducing carbon emissions by an estimated 25
percent compared to traditional methods,” Carlomagno stated.
The facility also champions the circular economy, with its manufacturing
ecosystem focusing on resource efficiency and waste minimization. “By 2026,
Oxagon’s waste-to-resource initiatives are projected to recycle 90 percent of
industrial waste,” he added.
