Evolve Investments & Projects Management
About Evolve
Evolve is a subsidiary of Arabian Cement Company of Egypt (EGX ARCC), established in 2016 to operate in the field of receiving, processing, and supplying various types of Alternative fuels to the cement industry. The company’s core mission is to provide a wide range of alternative fuels as environmentally friendly substitutes for fossil fuels. This supports Egypt’s shift toward a circular economy, promotes the use of renewable fuel sources, and reduces reliance on non-renewable traditional fuels.
In 2017, Evolve acquired Egypt Green for Environmental Services, a company specializing in environmental services. Through this acquisition, Evolve now manages, operates, and maintains the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) treatment facility in Damietta Governorate, which is owned by the local government. Egypt Green, under a long-term lease agreement, is fully responsible for the plant’s operations—an indication of the government’s trust in Egypt Green, and in turn, Evolve and its mother company, Arabian Cement.
This strategic role reflects Arabian Cement’s vision of integrating alternative fuels into the cement industry to improve the environmental footprint of cement production. Evolve utilizes state-of-the-art technologies to treat municipal waste and produce Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF), a high-quality alternative fuel that meets the specific requirements of cement kilns.
In addition to RDF, Evolve partners with multiple sites across Egypt to source and supply a diverse mix of alternative fuels, including agricultural and industrial waste. This wide range of fuel options provides cement manufacturers with the flexibility to use different fuel types beyond RDF; positioning Evolve as a leading provider of alternative fuels in the Egyptian market.
Evolve is ISO 9001-certified by TÜV NORD Germany, affirming the company’s commitment to international quality standards across its operations. Evolve also holds all necessary environmental approvals issued by the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA) for the collection, transport, and disposal of both hazardous and non-hazardous waste—making it the first Egyptian company to obtain such approvals from WMRA.
Notably, Evolve is also the first company in Egypt to be fully licensed for the collection, transportation, and disposal of treated medical waste, using shredding and sterilization technologies to convert the medical waste to non-hazardous solid waste before final disposal in cement kilns. This process protects both the environment and public health and reflects Evolve’s strong sense of social responsibility and its commitment to protecting the community.
With a clear vision and strategic roadmap, Evolve is continuously working to expand its production capacity, in line with Egypt’s Vision 2030, aiming to elevate the quality and productivity of alternative fuels in Egypt to match European standards.
Services
Our services range from providing consultancy to local authorities on improving waste management models, to certifying lab results, and managing the operation and maintenance of composting plants, transfer stations, as well as sorting and shredding facilities for the production of high-grade alternative fuels.
