The partnership is targeted to enable consumers to separate carton packages after use
Renie, a leading environmental solutions provider, has started a collaboration with Tetra Pak, the global leader in food packaging and processing, which will see its Smart Bins at the forefront of efforts to a more efficient management of waste streams in the UAE.
The companies agreed to start this collaboration ahead of this week’s DWTC Gulfood Manufacturing 2024 event (5 to 7 November), where Renie Smart Bins will be showcased to thousands of local, regional and global attendees, who will be visiting Tetra Pak’s stand. These Smart Bins are capable of tracking, monitoring and monetising the waste collection in real time.
Launched August 2023, the Renie Smart Bins are equipped with cutting-edge technology tools, including special sensors that collect data from waste, which is then processed into the Renie Software Solutions application to uncover new revenue opportunities.
Recycling line
The collaboration between the two companies comes at a crucial time, as Tetra Pak has recently announced the installation of a first of its kind recycling line for carton packages in UAE, in partnership with Union Paper Mills, with the capacity to recycle up to 10,000 tonnes of carton packages per year, to be starting in the end of November, this year.
“Technology is at the heart of everything that we do and this partnership represents another step forward in driving change that will benefit not only our environment, but also influence consumers’ behaviour to be more responsible,” remarked Sander Van Waes, CEO and Founder, Renie.
“Together with Renie, we are driving a concerted effort towards enabling recycling of Tetra Pak carton packages to be far more accessible in the UAE, and look forward to a wide adoption of the Smart Bin solution across the Emirates, thus supporting our sustainability and circularity goals and enabling us to “protect what’s good,” commented Marcelo Piva, Sustainability Director, Middle East and Africa, Tetra Pak.
