After graduating, Ramy set up volunteer-based Zero Waste MENA, which promotes sustainable practices, with the ultimate goal of closing all the landfills in the Middle East and North Africa region. Much of its work is in sharing knowledge across social media, blogs and conferences, but they did also manage to get funding to run a six-month project in Gaza.
In 2013, Ramy started a PhD on food waste at Cambridge University. And after completing that, moved to Stirling to work for Zero Waste Scotland, as an Environmental Analyst. He currently works as a Senior Analyst (Environmental Research & ESG Modeling) at S&P Global, a company that provides governments, businesses, and individuals with market data, expertise, and technology solutions for decision-making.
Ramy is keen to promote Palestinian culture and is part of the Palestinian History Tapestry team, led by friend of the Gaza Scholarship Jan Chalmers.
Ramy is hopeful he can, in the longer-term, return to use his professional and academic expertise to improve waste management and wider environmental issues in his homeland.
