A novel partnership establishes an entire waste recycling process for carton materials
Egypt implements a major advance in the solution of an extended waste dilemma. The country now possesses its inaugural complete framework which recycles used beverage cartons.
SIG collaborates with Plastic Bank as well as Carta Misr and TileGreen for business operations. They have established a single model from start to finish. The model monitors and recycles waste cartons to create new carton products. Producing new value from unwanted materials remains the essential objective.
Why this matters
The country of Egypt operates without any organized approach to waste management or carton recycling systems throughout the nation.
Discarded cartons normally get into landfills or end up as fire waste. The waste of valuable material combined with environmental degradation results from improper disposal of cartons.
The coming changes promise to bring this system into effect. The entire process for recycling used beverage cartons now functions through an open and observable method. The combination of this method supports environmental preservation and economic development.
How the system works
The new system tracks every part of beverage carton recycling through its complete cycle.
- The Plastic Bank operates as the main entity that collects the used cartons from the public.
- All items within this system get recorded through blockchain programs.
- The local collectors receive payment as well as additional benefits.
- Carta Misr operates as a paper mill which separates all cartons it receives.
- The paper fibers are transformed into new paper-based products through reprocessing.
- TileGreen receives every remaining portion of the PolyAl mix.
- TileGreen receives the PolyAl mix from TileGreen to create construction blocks.
Each step adds value. Nothing is wasted.
Economic and social wins
The value creation from this project exceeds basic street cleaning and building sustainability achievements.
- The established employment opportunities are sustained by this system for waste collection workers.
- The paper manufacturing industry receives fresh supplies of top-notch fiber from the process.
- The building industry acquires powerful bricks that are environmentally friendly through this system.
- Local communities obtain multiple advantages through recycling programs and using materials multiple times.
The recycling process for used beverage cartons generates financial as well as social and environmental value.
Voices from the ground
Abdelghany Eladib from SIG notes through this partnership that sustainable solutions and complex market implementation are possible. Carta Misr’s Mohammed Gamal reports that the material derived from discarded cartons strengthens their production line and eliminates the use of new materials.
Khaled Raafat from TileGreen describes their technology which converts PolyAl waste into first-use building materials through their processing method.
A model for the world
Other countries may find inspiration from the innovative system deployed by Egypt.
This partnership has established a benchmark through its final verification of used beverage cartons recycling across all stages. The program demonstrates how regional businesses can establish useful collaborative networks which develop operating solutions.
This system enables waste reduction in landfills while generating employment opportunities together with fresh approaches to transform important materials.
Final word
Used beverage carton recycling in Egypt extends beyond being a nature-friendly concept. It’s a working, growing solution.
The world needs proper support to transform perception about waste.
