Egyptian startup Green Pan is planning to expand its operations into Alexandria, according to Thomson Reuters’ MySalaam.com. Green Pan, which collects cooking oil from households and converts it to biodiesel, launched last year under the umbrella of renewable energy and waste management firm Tagaddod. “With a five-litre minimum order, along with an incentive scheme offering one litre of soap for every five litres donated … the collection process became easier and more efficient,” co-founder Ahmed Raafat says. Supported by our good friends at Flat6Labs, Tagaddod now mass produces and exports biodiesel.
