Dawar Acquires Stake in BekyaPay to Strengthen Recycling Traceability

Dawar by Environ Adapt, the Cairo-based circular economy platform, has acquired a strategic stake in BekyaPay, a consumer-facing application that enables households to exchange sorted recyclable materials for cash.

The acquisition extends Dawar’s digital infrastructure beyond aggregation and trade layers to the point of waste generation. By integrating BekyaPay, Dawar captures source-level data before materials enter informal trade networks, strengthening traceability across the recycling value chain.

Founded to formalize fragmented waste recovery flows, Dawar operates as a digital infrastructure layer that records and verifies recyclable material movements across collection points, aggregators, and traders. Over the past three years, the company reports documenting more than 90,000 verified tons of recyclables across 22 governorates.

BekyaPay, launched less than a year ago, connects more than 30,000 users through a network of 500 collection points and 120 collectors across two governorates. The integration enhances early-stage data visibility, supporting compliance as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations and ESG reporting standards tighten.

By moving upstream in the recycling chain, Dawar positions itself not only as a circular economy operator but as a compliance infrastructure provider in an increasingly regulated market.
