emirates7 - Abu Dhabi Waste Management Centre (Tadweer) has emphasised the importance of the Integrated Waste Management Regulations issued by the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD) and ratified by H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler's Representative in Al Dhafra Region and Chairman of the Board of the Agency, for improving waste management methods in Abu Dhabi.
The Regulations, which are the first of their kind in Abu Dhabi, set the frameworks, regulations, and legislations needed to tackle the challenges faced by the Emirate in the field of waste management. They also aim to attract more investments in this vital sector and limit double standards by specifying legislative, organisational, and operational jurisdictions for every waste management entity.
They include several regulations and legislation specifying the ownership of waste and its classification methods, and the ways to separate, collect, recycle, use, treat, store, and transport waste. It also includes the requirements and specifications for tracking devices and medical waste landfills, the regulations that the relevant sides must abide by, and the penal sanctions for indiscriminate waste disposal.
Falah Al Ahbabi, Chairman of Tadweer, said that the regulations will contribute to defining a better future for waste management due to its importance in outlining the regulations and legislations that all the relevant sides must abide by, particularly in light of the increased challenges in the waste management sector.
Dr. Salem Khalfan Al Kaabi, Director-General of Tadweer, said, "We are also working actively and constantly to support such legislations through transforming waste management, emphasising sustainability, employing the best global technologies, and continuing to provide exceptional services."
The Abu Dhabi Waste Management Centre aims to enhance its various services by applying the best practices and technologies, while abiding by the legislations and laws issued by the authorities. This supports the Centre's mission of developing sustainable waste management and pest control system in Abu Dhabi.
