Dawar by Environ Adapt, a circular economy platform based in Cairo, has acquired a strategic stake in BekyaPay. BekyaPay is a mobile app that allows households to exchange sorted recyclable waste for cash.
With this acquisition, Dawar is expanding its digital system to include the starting point of waste — households. By adding BekyaPay, Dawar can collect data directly from where the waste is generated, even before it moves into informal recycling markets.
This helps improve tracking and transparency across the entire recycling process. It strengthens traceability from the source to collectors, aggregators, and traders.
Dawar was founded to organize and modernize Egypt’s fragmented waste recovery system. It works as a digital platform that records and verifies the movement of recyclable materials. Over the past three years, the company says it has tracked more than 90,000 verified tons of recyclables across 22 governorates.
BekyaPay, which was launched less than a year ago, already connects more than 30,000 users. It works through a network of 500 collection points and 120 collectors across two governorates.
By integrating BekyaPay, Dawar by Environ Adapt can now see data from the very early stages of waste collection. This helps companies follow stricter rules like Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and meet growing ESG reporting requirements.
By expanding to the start of the recycling process, Dawar is not just operating in the circular economy space. It is also becoming a compliance-focused digital infrastructure provider in a market that is becoming more regulated.
