Recyclables in 2024
April 30, 2025
Abu Dhabi, April 30, 2025: The Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD), the largest environmental
regulator in the Middle East, has made remarkable strides in its commitment to sustainability
through the Abu Dhabi Single-Use Plastic Policy. As part of this initiative, the EAD-led Bottle Return
Scheme, launched in 2023, has seen unprecedented success in recovering more than 2,000 tonnes
of bottles. The scheme has significantly advanced recycling efforts across the Emirate, empowering
residents to adopt responsible waste disposal habits.
The Agency has collaborated with several partners from the retail industry, waste operators and
cleantech providers and, with EAD’s strategic oversight, Sparklo, a cleantech leader, has deployed
more than 100 Reverse Vending Machines (RVMs), known as Sparklomats, across Abu Dhabi
offering convenient return access points for plastic bottles and aluminium cans.
