The sixth EcoWaste exhibition, dedicated to advancing sustainable waste management practices and recycling in the region, is witnessing strong regional and global participation.

Organised by Abu Dhabi Waste Management Center (Tadweer) in partnership with Masdar as part of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW), the event is underway from January 14 to 17 at the Abu Dhabi Exhibition Centre (Adnec).

The exhibition that focuses on the latest innovations in the field has drawn praise from exhibitors and delegates for its high-level organisation. The participants have also commended EcoWASTE’s role in promoting state-of-the-art technologies and best practices in sustainable waste management in line with the highest international standards.

Dr Khaled Khouri, CEO, Cleanco Waste Treatment, said: “We are proud to be part of this world-class event that brings together leading industry experts and solution providers. EcoWaste offers us a unique platform to share our experience in collecting, transporting and treating medical and hazardous waste in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain in a safe and environmentally sustainable manner.”

Rami Abu Hayah, general manager of Cubic Art-Pixels (CAP), said: “The exhibition serves as an ideal forum for CAP to showcase its latest technologies, innovations and systems to a global audience, and explore industry best practices through connecting with leading experts, decision-makers and strategic partners.”

Mohamed Nabih El Zeftawi, general manager of Al Masaood Commercial Vehicles & Equipment (CV&E) Division, said: “Our participation in EcoWaste aligns with our mandate to provide eco-friendly products that ensure effective use of resources and reduce environmental impact. The Al Masaood CV&E Division pavilion is exhibiting the UD Quester, a new generation of heavy-duty trucks used for waste management purposes, launched in 2016.”

A major highlight of EcoWaste 2019 is ‘From Waste to Art’, an exhibition of artworks made from recycled waste by prominent Greek artist Nikos Floros, collaboratively hosted by Tadweer and the Embassy of Greece in the UAE.
