Agadir is seeing growing waste streams due to tourism, urban expansion and agro activities. Infrastructure is still heavily landfill-focused and sorting/processing capacity is limited, creating room for new recycling initiatives. Compared with the Netherlands, value-chain governance, large-scale separate collection and stable quality standards are often missing. The biggest opportunities are contract collection for hotels and hospitality, organic waste processing, MRF capacity (sorting and baling), plastic recycling with strict quality control, and construction and demolition recycling. Success requires good data, chain contracts, permits and reliable local partners.
