According to the director general of the Abu Dhabi Waste Management Centre, better known as Tadweer, more than 35 companies from the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and India will participate in the EcoWaste Exhibition and Forum next week in Abu Dhabi. According to Salem Al Kaabi, the event would focus on “improving sustainability through waste management and circular economy.” According to the organizers, the UAE’s waste management goals include processing 75% of municipal solid waste by 2025 and 85% by 2035, as well as reducing municipal solid waste creation to 1.4 kg per person per day by 2025.
The three-day event takes place from January 17 to 19 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, in conjunction with the World Future Energy Summit. The circular economy, connected equipment and automation, waste to hydrogen, landfill reduction plans, and techniques to coping with significant waste sources will all be discussed during the forum. The discussion will include Tadweer’s projects in the pipeline until 2030, as well as the company’s future strategies, according to Mr Al Kaabi. He did not disclose any additional information about the company’s plans to launch tenders for the development of a waste-to-energy plant in Abu Dhabi.
