Authorities have said that strict action is taken in these cases to deter all those thinking of committing such violations.

Recently, a new first-of-its-kind facility to recover recyclable materials from municipal solid waste was announced in Abu Dhabi.

The key objective is to collect municipal waste and recover recyclables such as metals, plastics, and other materials. It will maximise the diversion of waste from landfill through recycling and preparing feedstock for the Abu Dhabi Waste to Energy facility.

This will enable increased recycling, promoting a circular economy and supporting the group’s ambition of diverting 80 per cent of Abu Dhabi’s waste away from landfill by 2030.
