Cemcycle

The first official appearance of CemCycle was through the Khalleha W Gaddedha program, under the umbrella of Nahdet El Mahrousa for Development, in collaboration with Arabian Cement Factory 🤝

This program marked a major milestone in our journey. It didn’t just provide mentorship and technical support, but also gave us the opportunity to turn an environmental challenge within the cement industry into a real, applicable solution. Through hands-on work, we focused on transforming cement waste into valuable, sustainable products that support the circular economy 🌱♻️

🔬 During the program, we successfully:

Launched our first product prototype

Tested our idea in a real industrial context

Validated the environmental and economic impact of our solution

Achieved 3rd place among strong and competitive teams 🥉

This experience reinforced our belief that true innovation happens when real problems are met with practical, sustainable solutions — and when collaboration between industry, civil society, and young innovators comes together to create impact.

We are Cemcycle, a startup tackling one of the hidden challenges in the cement industry. Our project transforms cement industry waste specifically cement bypass dust into high-value fertilizers and chemical products. We address environmental issues caused by desert dumping and industrial emissions, while helping reduce the cement sector’s carbon footprint, which accounts for around 8% of global emissions.
