Problem
Inefficient waste management practices in Egypt lead to overflowing landfills, environmental pollution, and missed opportunities for resource recovery. Many households and businesses lack convenient access to recycling services and are not incentivized to separate waste. This results in valuable materials being discarded instead of being reused or recycled.
Solution

Through a mobile application, users can schedule pickups of recyclable waste directly from their homes or businesses. BekyaPay incentivizes participation by providing users with cash or in-kind rewards, such as food commodities, in exchange for their recyclables. By streamlining the recycling process and raising awareness about waste separation, BekyaPay aims to reduce landfill waste, promote sustainable practices, and foster a circular economy in Egypt. The company also focuses on the reuse of electronic devices and furniture to further minimize environmental impact.
