Abu Dhabi Waste Management Centre (Tadweer) announced that it has processed more than 1,860,000 tons of waste, including 88,382 tons of medical and hazardous waste, and handled 50,000 pest control requests during the first half of 2022. This comes as part of the Centre’s continuous efforts to build an efficient integrated waste management and pest control system in Abu Dhabi.
During the first half of 2022, Tadweer successfully diverted 34% of all waste in Abu Dhabi away from landfills, and diverted 50% of waste resulting from demolition and construction operations, 93% of hazardous waste, 3% of green waste, and 6% of animal waste away from landfills. This comes in line with Tadweer’s efforts to support the UAE’s vision for 2030. The centre’s achievements included signing operational contracts for pest control services and reducing disease vector pests.
