## About

Founded in 2013 by its CEO Nour El Assal and based in Cairo, Egypt, Tagaddod operates as a waste collection company. The company operates in the renewable energy and waste management sector, specializing in the collection and recycling of used cooking oil (UCO) and other renewable feedstocks. Tagaddod offers tech-enabled solutions that support sustainable energy production by aggregating waste oils from households, restaurants, and traders. In April 2021, Tagaddod raised an undisclosed amount of seed funding from new investor LoftyInc Capital Management. In October 2025, Tagaddod raised USD 26.3 million in series A funding led by new investor The Arab Energy Fund, with participation from returning investors Netherlands Development Finance Company (FMO), Verod-Kepple Africa Ventures, and A15. Other unspecified investors also participated in the round.

Tagaddod collects garbage through its brands such as Green Pan and Green Pan Business and refines leftover cooking oils from businesses and households so that they can be converted into biofuel. The company's offerings include garbage disposal and recycling, as well as the production of bio-diesel, a green fuel used in traditional diesel engines that allows consumers to obtain sustainable and clean energy while lowering pollution.
