Founded in 2013 by Nour El Assal and Ahmed ElFarnawany, Tagaddod has built a proprietary technology platform that sources renewable feedstocks from thousands of households, restaurants, food manufacturers, and independent collectors. The company operates regional hubs in Egypt, Jordan, and the Netherlands and maintains an active footprint across Africa, Asia, and Europe. Its software stack provides end-to-end traceability, AI-powered logistics optimisation, and compliance features that meet international sustainability standards. By digitising traditionally informal waste supply chains, Tagaddod enables global biofuel and SAF refineries to secure certified, export-grade feedstocks at scale. The business positions itself as an essential link in the fast-growing biofuels market, where feedstock scarcity is a key bottleneck. Backed by impact-oriented investors, Tagaddod plans to channel new capital into expanding market coverage, enhancing its AI-driven technology, and building additional infrastructure to handle higher volumes. The recent $26.3 million Series A provides the financial runway to pursue profitability and long-term leadership in renewable feedstock supply.
