Cairo, November 26, 2025 – In a significant step toward shaping a fully circular economy in Egypt, Big Scrappers—the national leader in smart recycling and technology-powered waste management—announced today the expansion of its digital infrastructure and the enhancement of its operational capabilities across key governorates.
Launched in 2012 under the name Kabnoury Le Togaret El Khorda, the company initially focused on aluminum trading. In 2024, it marked a bold transformation into Big Scrappers, evolving from a traditional trader into a comprehensive, tech-enabled waste management ecosystem capable of handling a diverse range of materials. Today, the company collects plastics, paper, metals, electronics, and additional recyclable resources from homes and businesses throughout Cairo, Giza, and beyond.
Powered by a rapidly growing network of collection points and digital solutions, Big Scrappers has established itself as a trusted partner for both consumers and businesses seeking fast, safe, and efficient recycling services. The company now serves more than 100,000 customers, with its mobile application continuing to attract a rapidly expanding user base.
Big Scrappers’ vision places youth empowerment at its core. The company invests in training and developing young talent, equipping them with hands-on experience in one of the world’s fastest-growing industries. It also focuses on raising environmental awareness, promoting resource efficiency, and demonstrating how waste can be transformed into long-term economic opportunities. This strategy has created both direct and indirect employment while delivering a measurable socioeconomic impact across communities in which the company operates.
The company offers an innovative model of resource management that integrates technology, efficient operations, and community engagement into a seamless ecosystem. Through the mobile app, users can schedule waste collection, locate drop-off points, and earn rewards—either monetary incentives or redeemable points—based on the materials they recycle.
The app also features a free marketplace where users can sell new or used products and promote their services at no cost. This enhances visibility for individuals and SMEs while reinforcing the company’s circular-economy model, enabling users to extend the life cycle of products and generate additional income.
Mr. Mostafa El Kabbany, Founder and CEO of Big Scrappers, affirmed the company’s commitment to transforming waste management into a value-driven, youth-focused, and sustainability-led industry. “Our goal is not only to recycle waste,” he stated, “but to help young people understand the true value of resources and how they can transform waste into sustainable economic opportunities that contribute to a better future.”
Looking ahead, the company plans to broaden its footprint across Egypt and expand internationally, integrating advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and digital analytics to improve operational efficiency and optimize waste collection cycles. With recent expansions into Bosnia and Dubai, Big Scrappers is cementing its role as a regional player in the global sustainability movement.
These advancements reflect Big Scrappers’ continued dedication to environmental stewardship, operational excellence, and community-driven growth—further reinforcing its role in shaping a more sustainable future for Egypt and the MENA region.
