CDE, a leader in the design and engineering of wet processing solutions for the waste recycling and natural minerals processing sectors, is proud to announce a major milestone in the Gulf region’s commitment to sustainable waste management with the signing of a new deal with Advanced Technology Recycling (ATR). 

As the first company in the Gulf to invest in wet processing technology for construction and demolition (C&D) waste, ATR is setting a new standard for environmental responsibility in Qatar. 

The agreement, signed in December 2024, will see CDE supply cutting-edge equipment enabling ATR to efficiently recover valuable resources from waste materials. 

Ali Al-Maadid, Executive Director, ATR, emphasized the company's mission to make recycling more accessible and reduce waste for future generations.

The partnership aligns perfectly with CDE’s commitment to tackling global waste challenges through innovation. By delivering advanced wet processing solutions, CDE continues to push the boundaries of sustainable recycling, helping Qatar take a significant step forward in its environmental ambitions.

Bassem Idriss, Head of Operations for the Middle East and Africa, CDE, said: “Qatar is a region with clearly defined commitments and timescales to reshape its approach to resource management. The Qatar National Vision 2030 is a roadmap intently focused on driving sustainable progress and so too is Advanced Technology Recycling with its latest investment in leading-edge waste recycling technology from CDE, which we believe will deliver very real environmental benefits in the region. Our partnership with Advanced Technology Recycling represents the coming together of engineering excellence with a pioneering attitude towards environmental responsibility that will bring increased momentum to Qatar’s transition towards a circular economy. The plant can be a great catalyst for accelerating the adoption of waste recycling solutions across the construction sector, championing the potential of waste as a viable alternative to quarried materials and ensuring a consistent and readily available supply of premium sand to support the development of high-value, critical infrastructure projects.”
