A new solid waste recycling plant in Nag Hammadi
The Egyptian Minister for the Environment, Yasmine Fouad, is inaugurating the Nag Hammadi solid waste recycling plant in the governorate of Qena in Egypt. The plant has a capacity of 400 tonnes per day.
The Nag Hammadi solid waste recycling plant was inaugurated on 9 June 2023, in the wake of World Environment Day on 5 June. The facility, located in Upper Egypt in the governorate of Qena, has a capacity of 400 tonnes per day.
The new plant recycles waste into organic fertiliser for agriculture, and produces RDF (Refuse Derived Fuels) alternative fuel, 120 tonnes a day to supply cement works, among others. The new recycling plant is located in the Nag Hammadi waste management centre. It is supplied by the Abu Tisht transit station, which was inaugurated just after the Nag Hammadi recycling plant came on stream.
