The scheme, part of the Abu Dhabi Single-Use Plastic policy, empowered 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 Sparklo, deployed more than 100
Reverse Vending Machines (RVMs), known as Sparklomats, across Abu Dhabi, with
retail outlets of ADNOC, Lulu and Carrefour, offering convenient return access points
for plastic bottles and aluminium cans.
