DUBAI: Sparklo, a cleantech company building the Middle East’s most accessible smart recycling
ecosystem, and Mai Dubai, the leading bottled water company in the UAE, have signed a

strategic agreement to promote recycling and support sustainable consumer behaviour.

The agreement outlines a joint initiative to install 30 AI-powered Reverse Vending Machines
(RVMs) – also known as Sparklomats – in high-traffic locations across Dubai, Abu Dhabi,
Sharjah, Al Ain, and Ras Al Khaimah. The Sparklomats will be located in schools, retail areas,
and even residential communities — enabling people to return plastic bottles right where they

live. For every container recycled, users will receive Sparklo points, which can be redeemed for
rewards, including discounts on Mai Dubai delivery starting in May. This initiative makes

recycling more rewarding while creating a closed-loop system for Mai Dubai products.
