The Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) announced Tuesday, July 15, 2025, the expansion of the Nile Plastic Recycling Company’s project in Ain Sokhna, with an additional $15 million investment aimed at establishing a new polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycling facility.
The agreement was signed in the New Administrative Capital in the presence of SCZone Chairman Walid Gamal El-Din.
According to a statement from the General Authority for the SCZone, the new investment—equivalent to around EGP 742 million—will fund a 10,000-square-metre facility designed to process PET, the key raw material used in food-grade plastic bottles.
The expansion is expected to create 500 new direct job opportunities and produce 20,000 tons of processed plastic waste annually.
