Bee’ah has signed a memorandum of understanding with Ripe Exhibitions Organiser Company to provide waste management services at The Ripe Market inside the Dubai Police Academy Park, a weekly community event which supports UAE homegrown businesses and local farmers.

As part of the agreement, Bee’ah will work closely with Ripe Market’s facilities team to oversee the event’s waste management and recycling needs at its Academy Park venue. The company will also be installing solar-powered bins with internal compactors and community recycling stations, to support a culture of recycling in the UAE, as per the statement.

“Bee’ah is pleased to partner with Ripe Market, to provide waste management and recycling services, in line with pioneering a more sustainable quality of life for the UAE and wider region. We admire Ripe Market’s efforts to bring the community together in support of local businesses and look forward to working together to promote environmental sustainability,” said HE Khaled Al Huraimel, Group CEO of Bee’ah.

With numerous dining options and fresh produce by the crate-load, The Ripe Market is a shopping hotspot for residents as well as visitors. The market supports local businesses, providing a platform for the Ripe Organic Farm and others like it, with farmers selling organic local fruits and vegetables. Other traders offer a range of goods and garments, from wooden crafts to unique toys and other items.

“We are really proud to have Bee’ah as a partner to the Ripe Market inside the Dubai Police Academy Park. Contributing towards a greener environment and encouraging the community to recycle are positive initiatives that we are really excited to embrace and promote,” said Becky Balderstone, Founder of Ripe Exhibitions Organiser Company.
