Nahla el Mernissi and Imad Mouakkat, co-founders and managers of Enprobel<\/h2>\n

Elsewhere, we would not have been able to benefit from such precise monitoring.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How did you come up with the idea of founding Enprobel and what does the name mean?<\/h3>\n

Nahla el Mernissi and Imad Mouakkat - Enprobel is an acronym that stands for \"Clean Environment for our Belgium\". Our idea was to create an activity with an ecological and social impact on the Brussels region. Our starting point was the observation that Belgians love chips, but all too often neglect used frying oils and fats. What's more, one litre of oil poured down the drain can contaminate up to a thousand litres of drinking water. That's how our desire for sustainable entrepreneurship came about! Imad and I, who are a couple in private life, joined forces to launch Enprobel in 2017.<\/p>\n

Who do you work with and what impact does your company have on the environment?<\/h3>\n

N. el M. and I. M. -<\/strong> At the moment, we are working with around a hundred customers in Brussels.,<\/strong> restaurants, snack bars, nursing homes and social action centres... But we also collect used oil from people's homes. We are convinced that by equipping a building with a special container for frying oils, residents will no longer have any reason to dispose of them down the drain. In this way, we are taking action against drinking water pollution.<\/p>\n

Does Brussels encourage this kind of initiative?<\/h3>\n

N. el M. and I. M.<\/strong> - We were lucky enough to be supported very quickly by institutions such as hub.brussels, finance.brussels, Groupe One and Funds4Good, which enabled us to win major contracts. What's more, thanks to greenlab.brussels, we were able to develop and enhance our business model and business plan. There's no doubt that we wouldn't have been able to benefit, outside Brussels, from such precise and precise monitoring in the circular environment. For the moment, there are only two of us, but we hope to be able to create around twenty direct jobs and have the opportunity to control the entire oil chain in Brussels. And then, why not, create a franchise. Let's dream a little!<\/p>\n
