Abu Dhabi Municipality awards EUCH & AQUA Q, both subsidiaries of Al Qudra Holding, major bid for recycling project

The project marks the first of its kind in the region, and aims at preserving the environment by recycling home solid wastes including but not limited to plastic and paper, aluminium, metals, glass, as well as greenery waste.

"Al Qudra Holding is privileged to have won the waste treatment project for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi," said His Excellency Eng. Salah Salem Bin Omeir Al Shamsi, Chairman and Managing Director, Al Qudra Holding. "This is an initiative that will allow us to support environmental practices and achieve our main objective of engaging with our community and environment.'

With the adoption of this program, the Emirate of Abu Dhabi will be one of the few cities in the world to implement waste treatment initiatives aimed at preserving the global environment. Abu Dhabi will have the capacity of recycling three thousand tons of waste per day.

In coordination with the Abu Dhabi Municipality, this initiative will be directed by Emirates Utilities Company Holding (EUCH) and AQUA Q, both subsidiaries of Al Qudra Holding in association with Ama International, an Italian company that has extensive experience in the recycling industry.

"The city's rapid growth and urbanization has increased the waste generation dramatically," said HE Eng. Al Shamsi. "It is important for us to educate and increase the importance and awareness of waste management in the city through developing targeted campaigns."

The companies will work together to provide a full development plan and waste management solution that will commence with the screening and sorting of the waste at source, to waste collection and distribution at various recycling centres and plants.
