SCZone signs $40M recycling project with Turkish firm HIPER Plastic

Walid Gamal El-Din, Chairman of the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone), signed a contract to establish the Turkish recycling project, HIPER Plastic, in the Qantara West Industrial Zone under the SCZone's jurisdiction. The signing took place in Turkey, during a promotional tour that began yesterday Monday,

The project will be executed in two phases over a total area of 100,000 square meters with an estimated investment cost of $40 million (equivalent to 2 billion Egyptian pounds). It is expected to create 700 direct job opportunities.

The contract was signed by Muhlis Şahlar, Chairman of HIPER Plastic. The project marks the first recycling venture in Qantara West. It is designed to be environmentally friendly with zero emissions and will use the latest technology in recycling Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and plastic packaging materials. Its operations will include sorting, crushing, washing, and special production processes for PET, Dioctyl Terephthalate (DOTP), and High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) compounds.

On the sidelines of the signing ceremony, the SCZone Chairman stated that the new project reflects the authority's commitment to attracting integrated industrial clusters to the Qantara West area and achieving environmental sustainability, aligning with the SCZone's strategic vision. He noted that the SCZone has developed Qantara West, equipping it with world-class infrastructure and facilities to become a regional and global hub for the textile and ready-made garment industry. He also emphasized that the integration between the SCZone's industrial areas and seaports is the cornerstone of investments within the authority, ensuring full access to various global markets.

Gamal El-Din added that the Qantara West Industrial Zone, which recently witnessed the inauguration of several factories and utility projects, has successfully attracted 41 projects to date—encompassing industrial, service, and logistical ventures. These projects represent a total investment cost of $1,093.5 million and are expected to provide 56,565 direct job opportunities, occupying a total area of 2,572,400 square meters. He stressed the importance of moving forward to attract more investments, particularly Turkish investments, to this promising area.
