In May 2025, the German Arab Chamber of Industry and Commerce (AHK Egypt) organized a six-day delegation trip to Berlin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern focused on waste management and recycling.
The Egyptian delegation engaged with leading German institutions, research centers, and industrial facilities to explore innovative practices in circular economy, refuse-derived fuel (RDF), biogas production, and mechanical-biological waste treatment. Highlights included site visits to CEMEX Rüdersdorf, ZAB Recycling Center, OVVD, and the University of Rostock, among others. The program provided valuable insights into Germany’s advanced infrastructure, sustainable technologies, and the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration in environmental innovation.
The experience offered inspiration and potential solutions adaptable to the Egyptian context, particularly in advancing alternative fuels and improving waste treatment systems.
