Green Cycle Units

Transforming Waste Into Green sources

Green Cycle Units is a forward-thinking initiative that aims to address some of the most pressing challenges in agriculture and environmental sustainability, including the overuse of chemical fertilisers, the accumulation of animal waste and the lack of practical knowledge to effectively address these issues. Our solution is to turn waste into green resources, promote sustainable agriculture and improve the overall health of the environment.

Founders: Yazan ShamroukhAnwar Hilal, Amira Hilal

Green Tech

Generating Energy from Sea Waves

The Gaza Strip produces 2,000 tonnes of solid waste per day, which is a serious environmental hazard as the sector suffers from a lack of landfills and recycling facilities. The amount of plastic is estimated to be 13 percent of the total waste. The project will work to convert plastic waste into energy through pyrolysis in an airtight, environmentally friendly system to reduce the volume of waste and provide energy to the Gaza Strip.

Founders: Jomana  Alajrami, Husain Alajrami, Dalia Atawneh

Green World

Recovery.. Reduce.. Reuse.. Recycle

Green World: To Clean World isn't just about protecting the environment, it's about changing our habits and attitudes towards waste, plastic use and recycling. By offering durable plastic products made from recycled plastic, Green World promotes a recycling culture, creates jobs and engages students in volunteer work to build a cleaner, more sustainable world for present and future generations. By engaging all these stakeholders, Green World can turn waste into wealth and leave a positive legacy for our planet.

Nanotechnology for water systems and environment

It’s Green, It’s Clean, It’s Never Seen — That’s Nanotechnology

This start-up uses advanced nanotechnology to improve water and wastewater treatment processes. By using nanotechnology-based modified membranes, they achieve higher water recovery, longer membrane life, improved energy efficiency and reduced operating costs in water treatment. This innovation holds great promise for addressing water challenges.

Founders: Ali Alsayed, Dr. Ahlam Bushkar, Mulham Bushkar

Palestinian Water and Environment

The business start-up is based on the partnership with the patent holder, Aqualia, of the MIDES project of microbial desalination cells. Based on the wastewater treatment by Geobacter, it directly generates the electricity needed to operate the RO desalination. Thus, it is possible to reduce the electricity demand from 4 to 0.5 kWh/m3, together with low cost drinking water production and electricity generation, and free cost of wastewater treatment. Business expansion takes place through drinking water cost saving revenue.

Founders: Muhammed Abu ElRish, Abdulkarim Imara, AlaaEldin ElJaeeb

PTAT Waste to Energy

PTAT provides a reliable and cheaper source of electricity for factories in Gaza. By converting an internal combustion engine into a steam piston engine that produces electricity, the start-up allows municipal waste to be burned to produce steam. In addition, the start-up has modified the burner to cope with the humidity of the organic waste during the incineration process.

Founders: Mostafa Kolab, Maher Mekky, Osama Hilles, Ammar Yasser
