At advanced processing facilities, waste is sorted and separated to recover valuable recyclable materials such as plastics, metals, paper, and glass. Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) use automated and mechanical technologies to efficiently extract reusable materials from mixed waste streams, significantly increasing recycling rates and reducing landfill volumes.

By maximizing resource recovery, these facilities play a critical role in supporting Abu Dhabi’s circular economy and advancing the goal of diverting waste away from landfill.

Across a network of specialized facilities, different waste streams are treated, recycled, or recovered to ensure valuable materials are returned to the economy while minimizing landfill disposal. These facilities handle a wide range of waste types, applying appropriate treatment technologies for each stream.

From electronic waste and organic materials to construction and demolition waste, Tadweer Group’s infrastructure enables the safe processing and recovery of resources that would otherwise be lost.

Key waste streams treated:

The Sharjah Waste-to-Energy plant, developed through a joint venture between Tadweer Group and BEEAH, was inaugurated in 2022 as the region’s first commercial-scale waste-to-energy project. The facility converts non-recyclable waste into clean energy while reducing reliance on landfills and fossil fuels, supporting national sustainability and circular economy objectives.

Building on the success of the first phase, the second phase will expand the facility by constructing a duplicate plant adjacent to the current one, effectively doubling its capacity and environmental impact.

The Al Bihouth Waste-to-Energy facility is a key project developed by Tadweer Group to support Abu Dhabi’s transition toward a circular economy. The facility will convert non-recyclable municipal waste into clean energy, helping reduce reliance on landfills while contributing to the emirate’s sustainable energy mix.

Once operational, the plant will play an important role in diverting significant volumes of waste from landfill and transforming them into valuable energy resources, supporting Abu Dhabi’s long-term environmental and waste diversion goals.

Tadweer Group is advancing waste management in Abu Dhabi through the development of state-of-the-art engineered landfills designed to handle municipal waste safely and efficiently. These facilities incorporate advanced lining systems, leachate management, and structured containment to prevent soil and groundwater contamination, ensuring long-term stability and full compliance with international standards.

Through these initiatives, Tadweer is reinforcing its commitment to building a sustainable, resilient, and environmentally responsible waste management infrastructure for the Emirate.
