Sparklo and Mai Dubai launch partnership to boost recycling across the UAE
people for doing so — and we are proud it’s happening in our home market, the UAE. We’re glad that
Mai Dubai shares our vision of building the infrastructure that motivates people to return their bottles.
Together, we’re creating a true closed-loop system that ensures materials don’t become waste, but a
resource for the future.”

“At Mai Dubai, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do — from operating the region’s only 100%
solar-powered water facility to actively championing circular solutions beyond our walls. This partnership
with Sparklo allows us to extend that commitment to consumers, empowering them to close the loop by
returning their empty bottles. Together, we’re not just hydrating the nation — we’re shaping a
sustainable future for the UAE,”said Abraham Kah, CEO of Mai Dubai.

This initiative supports the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 and Circular Economy Policy strategies, combining
innovation, business collaboration, and real-world impact. To date, Sparklo has collected over 90 million
plastic and aluminium containers across the MENA region — more than 81 million in the UAE alone.
