In a significant move set to enhance environmental sustainability and circularity, BEEAH, the region’s sustainability and innovation pioneer, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Municipality and Planning Department of Ajman (MPDA) to redefine waste management practices across the emirate, according to a press release. 

The agreement was signed at BEEAH Headquarters by His Excellency Abdulrahman Mohammed Al Nuaimi, Director General of the MPDA, and Khaled Al Huraimel, Group CEO and Vice Chairman of BEEAH, emphasising the mutual commitment of both organisations to collaborate on driving circularity, improving environmental resilience and substantially contributing to the UAE's sustainable development strategy.

His Excellency Abdulrahman Mohammed Al Nuaimi, Director General of the MPDA, welcomed the agreement, saying: "As a regional leader in innovative waste management solutions, BEEAH will collaborate with the MPDA to address short-term needs and secure long-term sustainability within the Emirate of Ajman. Our goal is to continue building on existing sustainable waste management efforts while also innovating in anticipation of future needs. As Ajman continues to grow and develop, we are working together to identify and integrate the right, end-to-end waste management solutions while driving circularity and steadily reducing landfill dependence. We are committed to elevating quality of life for our citizens and residents, while contributing to national goals and sustainability efforts.”

Khaled Al Huraimel, Group CEO and Vice Chairman of BEEAH, added, “We are proud to expand upon our long-term partnership with Ajman Municipality, which represents another step in our collaborative journey towards securing a sustainable future within the Emirate of Ajman. This new chapter of our collaboration aims to go beyond our existing efforts in sustainable waste management and work to ultimately create a waste-to-value ecosystem that helps realise landfill independence and net-zero emissions in the Emirate of Ajman and beyond. Together, we are reinforcing our commitment to driving circularity and resilience towards the UAE’s overarching sustainability goals and strategic vision.”

Building on their existing strong relationship with the Emirate of Ajman, BEEAH is now conducting comprehensive studies to unlock the potential for waste-to-value infrastructure within the emirate. This will cover everything from digitally enabled waste collection services to meet service demand in communities and developments, integrated waste processing and treatment for recycling, material recovery and the production of alternative fuels and materials, and ultimately waste-to-energy solutions to tackle the challenge of hard-to-recycle waste while producing clean energy. The studies will leverage BEEAH’s extensive experience in developing innovations and executing them at scale in order to continually optimise in line with demand.
