Circular Economy in Egypt: From Ambition to Action

Egypt is rapidly advancing its circular economy agenda, moving beyond policy into practical implementation across sectors. The country is shaping a resilient, resource-efficient economy—powered by leadership, entrepreneurship, and innovation.

Key signs of circular maturity in Egypt:

  • Establishment of waste-to-hydrogen projects to create green fuel from trash
  • National plastic export ban to retain materials for domestic circular use
  • Development of waste processing zones and smart infrastructure
  • Deployment of organic biogas solutions on farms
  • Growth of circular startups in recycling, packaging, and sustainable fashion

Egypt’s shift is supported by legislative frameworks, private sector engagement, and rising investor interest in green innovation. Whether it’s fueling green manufacturing or reducing landfill dependency, the momentum is real—and growing.
