With the UAE being the first nation in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to commit to the global goal to reach Net Zero by 2050, the transition to a cleaner, greener world is underway. To achieve this within the required timeframe, businesses and individuals across the Emirates all have a vital part to play.

Recycling is critical to win the race to carbon neutral. Using recycled materials saves energy and so reduces emissions of greenhouse gases. In helping to reduce air and water pollution, we alleviate the strain on the natural world and conserve precious resources.

Currently, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) generates an annual 6.5 million tonnes of waste, the equivalent of more than 14 Burj Khalifas. Dubai’s new environmental strategy aims to boost recycling rates, meet international standards for emissions and sustainability and help propel the emirate towards its goal of sending zero waste to landfills by 2030 and meet the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The aim is to directly contribute to reducing the size of Dubai’s landfill sites which cover an area of around 1.6 million square metres. Once reclaimed, this land can be earmarked for housing, ​​green spaces, parks, and public services.
