Eng. Ali Al Dhaheri, Managing Director and CEO, Tadweer Group, said: “Our visit to Japan, alongside our partners at Emirates Foundation, is a critical step forward in harnessing learning opportunities and exploring partnerships with our peers.
“From reducing food waste, to technological advancements in waste conversion and textile circularity, it is our pleasure to meet our Japanese counterparts and understand best practices we can leverage in the UAE.
“With the support of like-minded partners, we will continue unlocking the value of waste, further elevate our waste conversion projects, and contribute to global sustainability ambitions.”
Ahmed Taleb Al Shamsi, CEO of Emirates Foundation, and ne’ma’s National Steering Committee Deputy, said: “As we continue to navigate the complexities of sustainable development, Japan’s exemplary practices in minimising food loss and waste, and implementing effective waste management technologies, serve as valuable models.
“The challenge of food loss and waste is multi-faceted, affecting food security, environmental sustainability, and economic efficiency,”
“As part of ne’ma’s mandate to reduce food loss and waste in the UAE by 50 per cent by 2030 in line with UN SDG 12.3, we are eager to exchange knowledge on advanced methodologies and technologies with our Japanese partners.
“Together, we are taking meaningful steps towards a more sustainable future, ensuring that precious resources are utiliSed efficiently and mindfully.”
Tadweer Group is poised for international expansion and growth with the creation of its subsidiaries and onboarding global partners to progress its target of diverting 80 per cent of waste from landfills.
Tadweer Group previously announced a partnership with Japanese chemical companies to build a cutting-edge plastic chemical recycling facility in Abu Dhabi.
The investment is expected to reach up to JY40bn ($266m), with the facility set to be operational by 2027.
Tadweer has other partnerships with Marubeni and other Japanese companies, mainly in power generation sector and now plans to expand its collaboration with Japanese firms that possess advanced technology and expertise.
