BRUSSELS — A delegation from Geo Pomona Waste Management is in Belgium on a working visit aimed at strengthening international partnerships and adopting global best practices in sustainable waste management. The delegation is led by Geo Pomona Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman, Dr Dilesh Nguwaya, and is accompanied by Zimbabwe’s Ambassador to Belgium, Mrs Angelica Katuruza.

The visit centres on engagements with Ecosteryl Environmental Solutions in Mons, Belgium, a company internationally recognised for its advanced medical waste treatment technologies. Following high-level discussions, executives from both organisations resolved to pursue strategic collaboration focused on improving medical and hazardous waste management in Zimbabwe.

Dr Nguwaya said the partnership would play a critical role in enhancing environmental protection and public health outcomes. “This plant will help the Government of Zimbabwe and the people of Zimbabwe to treat their medical waste. It is very important to have this type of machine so that everyone can live in a good environment. This technology is internationally recognised,” he said.

Ecosteryl President Mr Olivier Dufrasne welcomed the Zimbabwean delegation, describing Geo Pomona as “the best and number one company in Zimbabwe for the treatment of waste.” He expressed optimism about the collaboration, saying it holds “a bright future to offer to the community of Zimbabwe.”

As part of the programme, the delegation toured Ecosteryl’s equipment assembly facility, where they were briefed on environmentally friendly waste treatment systems designed to safely process medical and hazardous waste. The team also paid a courtesy call on the Mayor of Mons, Nicolas Martin, a move seen as strengthening institutional ties and reinforcing Zimbabwe’s intention to align with European Union standards in environmental governance.

The Belgium visit forms part of Geo Pomona’s broader strategy to benchmark against international standards and introduce modern, sustainable waste management solutions. Analysts say such partnerships could significantly strengthen Zimbabwe’s capacity to manage medical waste, reduce environmental pollution and improve public health infrastructure.
