## About

Based in Cairo, Egypt, and founded in 2020, Plstka operates as a solid waste management and recycling company. The company was founded by Ahmed ElNagar and Mahmoud Youssef. In October 2025, Plstka raised USD 1 million in venture funding led by new investor Empire Angels.

Plstka operates an online mobile application that allows customers to trade in their solid trash, such as plastics, aluminum, and electronic waste, for discounts and vouchers on a variety of services, including food and drinks at restaurants and cafes, medical care, and transportation. The company's offerings include waste collection services at the user's doorstep, automatic chat help for resolving questions, and a friendly waste collection competition amongst customers in each region and city.

The company will use the funding to support its product expansion plans initiatives in Delta and Upper Egypt.
