Tagaddod is a tech-enabled waste collection company founded in Cairo in 2013 that collects and aggregates renewable feedstocks - used cooking oil, acid oils, waste oils, and fats - for the biofuels industry. The company operates across Africa, Asia, and Europe, with regional hubs in Egypt, Jordan, and the Netherlands, and is expanding into markets including Saudi Arabia.
The company's core function is to bridge fragmented waste supply networks with large-scale industrial demand for biofuels and sustainable aviation fuel. It develops proprietary software and hardware to automate the collection, refining, and conversion of waste into usable feedstock. Its software suite includes the Collectors App for waste collectors, consumer-facing applications for feedstock collection, and systems named GAP and Janet that emphasize traceability and sustainability throughout the supply chain.
Tagaddod's technical capabilities span machine learning, data modelling, supply chain automation, and hardware development. The company applies these capabilities to create visibility across traditionally informal waste supply chains, enabling standardisation and scale in an industry that has historically operated through fragmented collection networks.
