Urban Mine DZ Treats Algeria’s Waste as an Ore Body
An Algerian venture maps waste streams, extracts recoverable materials, and offers treatment, pollution control, and technology-transfer services.
Field notes
The homepage lays out a material-flow sequence rather than presenting recycling as a general slogan: waste is collected, separated, treated according to its composition, and returned to the economy when feasible. Its examples include zinc residues from Ghazaouet, spent catalysts from chemical and petrochemical facilities, steelmaking dust, and asbestos. Urban Mine DZ gives Rouissat in Ouargla as its headquarters and Laghouat as its testing site, while presenting the project as active since 2022 and still undergoing Startup labelling.
