The two industry leaders sign a five-year agreement

Tadweer (the Center of Waste Management - Abu Dhabi) and Bee’ah, the Middle East’s leading and award-winning environmental management company, announced a five-year partnership aimed at integrating and raising innovative waste management solutions and enhancing environmental sustainability for the city of Abu Dhabi. While the contract commenced on October 4th, the complete handover took place on the 4th of December 2016, which is when the full operations began.

The partnership will see the collaboration of Tadweer’s and Bee’ah’s specialists, creating a roadmap for innovations and waste management solutions on the eastern side of Abu Dhabi Island. The deal represents the first cooperative effort between the UAE’s two leading companies, which aim to increase the diversion rates and contribute to a more environmentally sustainable future for the city.

Commenting on the partnership, H.E Eisa Saif Al Qubaisi, General Manager of Tadweer said, “It is only through collaboration that we can provide optimal solutions for environmental sustainability. With a common goal, we are confident that through this partnership we will be able to accelerate technologies that will improve operations and forge solutions for sustainable communities.”

H.E Khaled Al-Huraimel, Group CEO of Bee’ah commented, “Working with other industry leaders like Tadweer will not only cement our expansion in the UAE, but also raise the standards of sustainability in the nation and a cleaner life for the people of Abu Dhabi and the UAE overall.”

The partnership utilises state-of-the-art smart fleet and waste management system to enhance the collection services of areas served in Abu Dhabi. The system includes bin asset management, fleet monitoring, route optimization, driver performance management as well as incident management features. The features reduce the carbon footprint of its operational activities – in addition to the vehicles already being eco-friendly.

Bee’ah and Tadweer are united in their commitment to raising awareness and education on environmental issues and sustainability measures among the general public of Abu Dhabi. The partnership between the two entities is a broad-based effort to support and accelerate the use of environmentally preferable practices already underway in the nation.
