Head of EnergYAlgae Project

To achieve these aims, MAOF collaborates with a wide range of stakeholders including municipal and governmental authorities, private companies and NGOS. Its unique position makes it a major player in the Israeli environmental ecosystem where the elements of waste treatment, innovative technologies and environmental protection meet.

Based on its extensive experience in environmental entrepreneurship, MAOF is continuously initiating and taking part in a variety of nationwide projects and regulatory processes. The company has been key in influencing statutory and policy-making processes that promote environmental standardization and the removal of bureaucratic and economic barriers.

Among others, MAOF spearheaded the 16th amendment to Israel’s Planning and Construction Law thereby leading to the creation of certified landfilling waste sites and the closure of hundreds of illegal facilities. This was accompanied with the preparation of a roadmap containing specific incentives encouraging industrialists and business owners to meet certain prerequisites such as the separation of waste at the source prior to processing.
