UAE-based sustainability pioneer to manage all airside and landside waste for DXB and DWC
Bee’ah, the UAE-based sustainability and environmental services provider, has been appointed the waste management partner for both of Dubai airports, Dubai International (DXB), and Dubai World Central (DWC).
In addition to managing both airside and landside waste management operations, including non-hazardous waste, hazardous waste, used cooking and used engine oil waste and all recyclables, Bee’ah will work in conjunction with Dubai Airports’ facilities care team to handle and dispose of all waste from excess baggage and confiscated materials.
“Bee’ah has repeatedly proven to be among the Middle East’s leading environmental services provider, through the focus on creating a sustainable quality of life in the region,” commented Khaled Al Huraimel, CEO, Bee’ah Group.
“Most of the single-use plastics at our airports, including cutlery, drinking straws, and take-away food packaging have been replaced with sustainable alternatives as an immediate result of our initiative,” remarked Jose Oller, Executive Vice President of Service & Operations, Dubai Airports.
Driving the UAE’s green agenda, Bee’ah has achieved a 76 percent waste diversion rate for the Emirate of Sharjah – the highest in the Middle East – and this is projected to reach 100 percent in 2021 upon completion of the Middle East’s first waste-to-energy plant in Sharjah.
Bee’ah’s advanced Waste Management Complex processes three million tonnes of waste annually, by recycling, recovering and regenerating materials for reuse. Within the Waste Management Complex, Bee’ah hosts a number of facilities capable of recycling mixed fibres, plastics, metal, rubber, industrial and construction waste.
