    Nakheel celebrates triple success at Facilities Management Middle East Awards.
Nakheel took home the 'Partners in Facilities Management' award for its work with Imdaad Environment on Palm Jumeirah's Waste Management and Recycling System; Bradley Robbins, was named Facilities Manager of the Year and Omar Khoory, Facility Manager, was awarded the 'One to watch'.

Abdulrahman Kalantar, Managing Director of Nakheel Asset Management and Design, comments:
"2008 was a successful year for us in terms of waste management, across Palm Jumeirah and throughout all our communities. With the support of Imdaad Environment, our main waste contractor, Nakheel's Recycle it! programme diverted over 22% of the Palm's total waste from entering Dubai's landfill sites during 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. It is great that the importance of a responsible attitude to waste management has been highlighted and we hope to continue to raise awareness of environmental issues in Dubai and across the region."


"Nakheel's Facilities Management team has successfully implemented best practices, reduced costs and executed a successful operation to ensure buildings are effectively run with sustainable practices in place. We extend our congratulations to Bradley and Omar and the to the whole Facilities Management team for their ongoing efforts," he added.

Palm Jumeirah's Waste Management and Recycling System is part of Nakheel's ongoing commitment to waste management. Through the provision of recycling bins, collection schemes and informative flyers and stickers to over 3,000 properties across Palm Jumeirah, Nakheel and Imdaad increased the waste diversion of Palm Jumeirah by over 200% in Q4 of 2008.
