The Egyptian Ethylene and Derivatives Company (ETHYDCO) has succeeded in exporting the first shipment of recycled polyethylene products to Spain.

This comes after the success achieved by the company in marketing the product locally and the great demand for it.

ETHYDCO’s Chairman Hesham Riyad praised the efforts of ETHYDCO’s employees in achieving this achievement through fruitful cooperation between the departments of marketing, sales, planning, production, laboratories, research and general polyethylene during all stages of work, production, research and planning, until reaching the export stage.

Riyad highlighted that this accomplishment is a crucial component of the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources’ strategy, which prioritizes sustainability within the oil and gas industry. It also aligns with Egypt’s broader vision for sustainable development by 2030.

It is worth noting that ETHYDCO had begun implementing the strategy of recycling incomplete products on October 25, 2023. Its aim was to produce a final product from beaded polyethylene to be recycled and used again or converted into a raw material for new products, which are products that can be classified as low-cost.
