Two tons of recyclables collected using the Recapp app within the first 3 months of its soft launch
Agthia Group recently announced that it continues to propel its partnership with Veolia, a global leader in optimized resource management, via successful sustainability initiatives launched over the past year.
The MoU between Agthia and Veolia was first signed during the 2020 edition of Gulfood and underscores the shared commitment of the two companies to drive sustainability efforts by working together with the community.
One such initiative was the launch of the Recapp mobile application, an innovative digital service developed by Veolia to provide a free of charge door to door collection for recyclables in Abu Dhabi.
Since November 2020 and in just 3 months, the app has garnered more than 1,000 users and has helped collect more than 2 tons of recyclables.
“Agthia recognizes the importance of providing innovative and digital collection solutions to address the challenges of post-consumed plastic bottles and promote recycling,” commented Alan Smith, CEO, Agthia Group.
“Recycling is key for the transition from a linear to circular economy and plastic and other solid waste need to be reused, recycled or composted for a better future and environment,” remarked Dr. Rabih Kamleh, Chief Quality and R&D Officer, Agthia.
“Veolia is committed to develop a recycling ecosystem and close the loop of resources by supporting the packaging industry, led by Agthia, in the development of alternative Eco-packaging solutions,” observed Sébastien Chauvin, CEO, Veolia Middle East.
