Recovery
Our ETP facility recovers excess water for treatment, noting that the vast majority of water used within the paper making process is recycled at source within closed systems
MMPP responsibility
Making more of recovered resources
MMPP connects recovered fibre, paper manufacturing, and corrugated packaging. This is how materials move through our group and how we manage water in the papermaking process.
The material cycle
From recovered paper to packaging
Our paper mills process recovered fibre into grades used by corrugated box manufacturers, including the group's own packaging factories.

Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP)
Separation
The process then segregates sludge.
Treatment
Surplus water is discharged into local permissible community effluent systems.
Committed to the Environment
Our prime raw material is 100% recycled wastepaper, primarily OCC (Old Corrugated Cartons) and some mixed waste.
- 80% of this wastepaper is recycled from within Egypt.
- The Group is the largest recycler of OCC wastepaper within Egypt.
- The Group also imports OCC as and when necessary, primarily from surrounding regional countries and southern Europe.
- The Group has its own wastepaper collection depots, has direct collection arrangements, and partners the larger suppliers in Egypt.
- Virgin Pulp is sourced from FSC approved suppliers.
