Tadweer Group's 25 new RVMs strengthen Abu Dhabi's aluminium cans recycling efforts

Tadweer Group has rolled out 25 Reverse Vending Machines (RVMs) at key locations throughout Abu Dhabi, such as Umm Al Emarat Park and Zayed International Airport, with further installations on the way. This initiative is a collaboration with the Ministry of Finance, Abu Dhabi Sports Council (ADSC), ADNEC Group, the Department of Municipalities and Transport, and Khadamat Facilities Management as part of UAE University.

About the partnership

This partnership aims to maximise the value of waste by employing advanced solutions like waste masters and anaerobic digesters, along with other innovative technologies. Tadweer Group is showcasing its dedication to research and development by introducing technologies such as Reverse Vending Machines (RVMs) to promote a circular economy and support national net zero ambitions.

The Tadweer Reverse Vending Machine (RVM) was unveiled at the 10th EcoWASTE Exhibition and Conference in April. During the event, Tadweer Group demonstrated the machine's capabilities, including recycling plastic bottles and aluminium cans.

Ali Al Dhaheri, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Tadweer Group, stated,  "The community and our partners play a vital role in helping maintain a clean environment. Tadweer RVMs and Tadweer Rewards offer a unique opportunity to revolutionise recycling in Abu Dhabi, representing a significant step forward in cultivating a strong recycling infrastructure.

We will continue to leverage expertise and partnerships with like-minded entities to unlock the value of waste and promote the circular economy, contributing to the UAE's sustainability agenda and progresses our ambition of diverting 80% of waste from landfill by 2030."

Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in April, Tadweer Group and ADNEC Group have pledged to implement sustainable practices across various assets and locations, including the ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi.
