Ziad is a multi-disciplinary engineer who specializes in building Municipal Recycling Facilities on the communal level going against the trend of a central Mega recycling Plant. Graduated from Rutgers University in New Jersey, USA, Ziad and his team developed a technology to accelerate the composting cycle of organic waste in an odorless manner to produce high grade fertilizer. Ziad started Cedar Environmental in Lebanon, an environmental & industrial engineering organization that aims to build recycling plants to produce organically certified fertilizers and leave no waste material to be disposed of, but instead recycled into a new form of product to be used again and again.
