(MOCCAE), supported by Roland Berger. Originally launched at COP28, Waste to Zero has grown into a powerful coalition aiming to drive impactful, scalable solutions in waste management. Waste to Zero aims to formalise waste management practices and engage stakeholders worldwide to decarbonize the sector, unlock economic opportunities, and contribute to global climate change mitigation efforts. With 3-5% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions arising from waste, our waste conversion projects (waste to energy i.e hydrogen, graphene, sustainable aviation fuel, etc) help lower emissions. And by lowering emissions, we are contributing to achieving net zero and promoting the circular economy, in line with the UAE’s national agenda. During COP29, we announced two key updates to our Waste to Zero initiative for decarbonisation. Her Highness The 11th EcoWASTE Exhibition and Conference, January 14-16, is part of the World Future Energy Summit, and Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week. This platform brings together thousands of business and political leaders, industry specialists, academics and technology pioneers, to network and explore new commercial opportunities. As Strategic Partner and EcoWASTE Exhibition and Conference
Sheikha Shamma bint Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, President and CEO of UAE Independent Climate Change Accelerators (UICCA), will become Chair of Waste to Zero and steer the initiative’s next phase of impact. We announced the findings of a white paper, which focuses on the waste sector’s significant role in global emissions, with methane from mismanaged organic waste alone contributing 20 percent of global methane levels. By embracing advanced waste-to-resource technologies, such as waste-to-hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuel, the sector holds immense potential for cost-effective decarbonisation. As waste generation surges, innovative tech-driven solutions and essential infrastructure upgrades are critical to mitigating emissions. With over 50 global institutions
endorsing the initiative, Waste to Zero champions data-driven, collaborative approaches to transform waste management and support global climate goals. Tadweer Group has continued to participate in the global platform, bringing waste to the forefront of the sustainability agenda. With the support of partners, we have continued to showcase the value of waste and share our insights on the importance of shifting perspectives to promote the circular economy. As sole custodian of waste management in Abu Dhabi, and with its strategic focus on unlocking its value and harnessing conversion opportunities, how does Tadweer Group balance short-term operational goals with long-term sustainability commitments? Tadweer Group achieves this balance
Co-organiser of EcoWASTE, Tadweer Group’s participation will focus on recycling, waste management and waste-to-plus industries, as well as advancing new business opportunities and inspiring best practice for a more sustainable future. Through our participation, we aim to accelerate the FLUFXODUHFRQRP\ZKLOHUHGHƓQLQJZDVWHDVDFDWDO\VWIRU a positive environment and economic impact. In line with strategic ambitions and following last year’s successful engagement, we will host two H[KLELWLRQVSDFHV WKHƓUVWLQWKHPDLQVSDFHZLWKLQ EcoWaste, and in the Energy Zone to promote the concept of waste to plus. We will also host our Sustainable Stand Awards, an annual platform encouraging exhibitors to create their stands from sustainable materials, and an EcoMajlis
Networking Lounge and opportunities for students to engage at our stand and learn more about the importance of waste. Key themes we will showcase at Tadweer Group will include: • Showcasing the myriad opportunities with waste conversion projects and initiatives. • Harnessing partnerships for our transformation and expansion as a pioneer of our sector. • Tadweer Group’s innovative thinking and advanced technologies positively impact the UAE’s waste management sector.
