Groupe Ozone Environnement & Services

What Groupe Ozone Environnement & Services does

Groupe Ozone Environnement & Services, founded in 2008 and headquartered in Fès, Morocco, is the leading private operator of delegated municipal waste management in Morocco with operations in 5 African countries (Morocco, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, Sudan, and Guinea-Conakry). The company provides integrated services including household and similar waste collection and evacuation, street and public-space cleaning, industrial cleaning (notably at ONDA airports in Fès, Casablanca, Agadir, Marrakech, and Guelmim), landfill management, and waste sorting and recovery through its 300 tonnes/day (extensible to 500 tonnes) semi-automatic center in Fès achieving a 28.2% recovery rate. The fleet of 1,300+ vehicles and 9,000+ employees serves approximately 7.5 million inhabitants across 60 client cities.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through long-term delegated management contracts (typically 7 years) awarded by municipalities and government agencies via public procurement, making this a managed-services business with no publicly disclosed pricing. Core technology is operational rather than algorithmic: GPS/geolocation fleet monitoring, semi-automatic mechanical sorting, and underground container deployment in select regions (Benslimane, Khenifra). The company holds ISO 9001 V2015, ISO 14001 V2015, and OHSAS 18001 V2007 certifications and is led by founder and President Director General Aziz El Badraoui. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting public-sector buyers in Morocco and African markets, with international expansion executed through wholly-owned subsidiaries (Ozone Mali, Ozone Soudan, Ozone Chaouia, Ozone Khenifra) and framework conventions.
