The Environment
Yanbu Industrial City is proof that industrial development and environment protection can coexist. Through policies and programs implemented from the beginning:

Yanbu's natural air and water resources are nearly as pour as before the city's development.

Large tracts of desert and beachfront have been preserved, and even improved by cleanup and landscaping campaigns.

Wastewater is collected, treated, and recycled to irrigate landscaping, while certain organic wastes are processed into compost to enrich soil in city parks and gardens.

Offshore coral reefs and the mangroves near the port-one of the largest stands of these plants on the Red Sea north of Jeddah- are being preserved in their natural state.

Through soil stabilization and landscaping programs, Yanbu's desert site has become an urban oasis, which attracts more species of birds and other wildlife to the site than it supported 20 years ago. Rather than harm the environment, the Yanbu development is enhancing it.
