The company
Transfer the technology, turn waste into resources.
The Urban Mine company was created to carry out technology transfers and turn local waste into resources. That is exactly the aim behind the creation of Urban Mine DZ in Algeria.
A limited liability company established in Rouissat, in the wilaya of Ouargla, it began operating on 28 November 2022. It has a test site in Laghouat, where the first treatment work has been started.
We work with industrial operators holding deposits, with local authorities facing waste streams, and with companies looking for a partner able to say precisely what it can treat — and what it cannot yet.
The project is undergoing Startup certification with the competent Algerian bodies. The label has not been granted yet: we will say so here as soon as it is.
