Imdaad, a leading provider of integrated facilities, environment and energy management solutions in the GCC, has collaborated with Blue, the new identity of Alserkal Group’s Environmental Division, for the management of used cooking oil collection. Jamal Abdullah Lootah, CEO of Imdaad, and Ahmad Bin Eisa Bin Nasser Alserkal, Chairman of Alserkal Group signed a contract for the proper collection and recycling of used cooking oil. As per the agreement, Imdaad will collect used cooking oil from the clients of Alserkal Group, including restaurants and hotels in upscale locations in Dubai such as Box Park and Jumeirah Beach Residences, among others. The collection and treatment of used cooking oil will aid in curbing the illegal disposal or sale of organic waste, thereby reinforcing the guidelines set by the Dubai Municipality to preserve the environment.

“We are delighted to collaborate with market pioneers such as Alserkal in collecting, transporting and disposing of used cooking oil in line with the highest international standards to ensure that used cooking oil is neither reused nor thrown into drains,” said Lootah. Alserkal complements government plans to offer cutting-edge solutions in FOG waste such as setting up the region’s only edible oil recovery plant and their partnership with Imdaad “is a major step in this direction as they will aid in the collection and recycling of waste edible oil which can be converted to biofuel,” noted Alserkal.
