Zero Waste Goals Set By Tadweer & Polygreen

Tadweer And Polygreen Partner For Sustainability

The partnership will involve the exchange of best practises and knowledge as well as collaboration on global events such as COP28, UN events, and the Delphi Economic Forum.

The MoU will also explore harnessing Polygreen's "Just Go Zero" model in Abu Dhabi, which focuses on engaging with local stakeholders, to achieve zero waste in the Emirate.

The partnership follows an agreement signed last year between the UAE and Greece to establish an investment framework worth €4 billion ($4.8 billion) between ADQ and both the Hellenic Development Bank (HDB), the national development bank of Greece, and the Hellenic Development Bank of Investments (HDBI).

Ali Al Dhaheri, Chief Executive Officer of Tadweer, said, "We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with Polygreen, which will be instrumental in helping us achieve our shared goal of a sustainable future. This collaboration marks a critical milestone in our journey towards a circular economy and a zero-waste Abu Dhabi. We value the exchange of best practises with international organisations such as Polygreen to help us identify innovative ways to promote sustainable practices and reduce our environmental footprint."

Athanasios Polychronopoulos, Founder and Chairman of Polygreen, stated, "On this significant day, we are thrilled to witness our vision for a zero-waste planet extending beyond our national borders. About a year ago, Polygreen accomplished a remarkable feat by implementing the Just Go Zero initiative, which turned a Greek island into a zero-waste destination. Today, we join forces with Tadweer to establish a robust circular economy operator in the Middle East, starting with a mission to make Abu Dhabi the first zero-waste emirate. This partnership paves the way for the reduction of greenhouse emissions and the transition to sustainable development."
