Abu Dhabi Promoting Sustainable Waste Management
Abu Dhabi Waste Management Centre (Tadweer) is promoting sustainable waste management by opening an environmentally friendly waste treatment complex named ‘Eco Park’.
The complex is over 1.8 million square metres large and consists of about 27 plots, which are all easily accessible from all directions through an internal road network.
This initiative comes in line with Tadweer’s aim to support and contribute towards Abu Dhabi Environment Vision 2030.
The complex has dedicated facilities for the treatment of medical and hazardous waste.
Tadweer also plans to set up a wastewater treatment plant as well as a facility to recycle electronic waste.
The facility uses rotary kiln incinerators and has a treatment capacity of 7,500 tonnes per annum. Currently, all the waste, mainly hazardous and medical waste, is handled by Al Ain and this facility will help take off the pressure on those incinerators.
Dr Salem Al Kaabi, Director-General of Tadweer, said, “The opening of Eco Park is a key milestone in Tadweer strategic plan aligned with Abu Dhabi Environment Vision 2030. It will go a long way in achieving our objective of developing an integrated waste management sector in Abu Dhabi through promoting proper waste management practices, and protecting the environment, and the health and safety of the community.”
