Egyptian startup transforms plastic bags into tiles
STORY: This Egyptian startup is aiming
to turn billions of plastic bags into tiles
Locator: Sharqiya, Egypt
TileGreen's product could reduce the amount
of waste going into the Mediterranean Sea
and help bring down emissions
from the building sector
Plastic waste is melted and compressed
at a factory on the outskirts of Cairo
The tiles are used for outdoor paving
(Khaled Raafat, TileGreen co-founder)
“So far, we have recycled more than five million plastic bags, but this is just the beginning. We aim that by 2025, we will have recycled more than five billion plastic bags. Currently, we have plans to expand in Egypt, and we have plans to expand in some Arab countries. We started working on this with our partners, real estate developers and contracting companies who tried our product and liked it very much and want to spread its usage.”
Egypt is one of the worst polluters
in the Mediterranean region
Nearly 82,000 tons of plastic
waste enter the sea each year
That’s according to a 2020 report by the
International Union for Conservation of Nature
