The EcoWaste Exhibition & Forum returns to Abu Dhabi, UAE for an 8th edition between 17 and 19 January 2022, that will be co-located with the World Future Energy Summit. Held in partnership with Abu Dhabi Waste Management Center – Tadweer as part of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2022, “the global event will be critical to the resumption of focus on the circular economy model and the means necessary to get there – two global priorities that became more urgent in the aftermath of recent developments, as well as a purposeful effort within the larger framework of environmental action,” said the event organiser.

EcoWaste will bring together the Middle East and North Africa region’s most prominent waste management stakeholders, with investors, entrepreneurs, innovators and technology providers standing to make most gains from the business, sponsorship and partnership opportunities the exhibition is forecasted to create.

The event will examine how recent world events have resulted in new attitudes to waste management, the benefits of reducing, reusing and recycling, and evolving approaches to waste. A special focus will be dedicated to realistic ways in which to reduce single-use plastic and how technology and innovation will increasingly impact the decisions taken within the industry.

“EcoWASTE plays a vital role in the waste management industry, with a platform that has quickly become essential for public and private enterprises alike. This is the place to go to explore new solutions in sustainable waste management, forge partnerships, learn from successful programmes and examine the latest know-how," said HE Dr. Salem Khalfan Al Kaabi, Director General, Tadweer. “The event has become as a solid foundation for proactive initiatives in waste management as well as other aspects of sustainable development in Abu Dhabi, and it continues to assume its role as an incubator for action, partnerships and ventures aiming to bolster Abu Dhabi’s economy and connect with other successful initiatives around the world.”

"EcoWASTE is the waste management industry's central platform, where all stakeholders come together to sharpen global waste management efforts with innovative technology, advances in engineering, and inspiring ideas,” said Grant Tuchten, Group Event Director of the World Future Energy Summit.
