Ziway Roses Plc, a leading flower exporter based in Oromia region, has announced a significant stride towards sustainability. The company has successfully implemented a biogas solution that converts its green waste into eco-friendly liquid fertilizer.
This innovative approach has yielded substantial benefits, including a 10% reduction in organic fertilizer import costs, translating to annual savings of 2 million Birr. Beyond cost savings, the biogas technology contributes to cleaner energy production and environmental conservation by reducing waste and emissions.
Biogas, a clean and renewable fuel, is generated by processing various organic waste materials. Produced entirely from local resources, it serves as a versatile energy source for transportation, industry, and other applications. Moreover, the organic nutrients recovered during biogas production contribute significantly to a circular economy.
Ziway Roses, established in 2005, operates with a daily production capacity of 300,000 flower stems, primarily exported to the Netherlands. The company is committed to environmentally responsible practices and worker safety.
