             Waste management — an economic opportunity


             Al Hajri said while waste management remains a challenge for cities worldwide, Dubai

             Municipality views it as a significant economic opportunity.


             “Using the biggest waste treatment and energy conversion facility on the planet, we

             have leveraged waste to help light 135,000 residential buildings across the Emirate of

             Dubai. This facility uses cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence
             systems, that further boost operational efficiency,” explained Al Hajri.



             Sewage plants treat more than 360 million cubic metres of wastewater each year. Al

             Hajri highlighted the efforts being made by the Dubai Municipality to take advantage
             of this resource to launch its innovative ‘Green Dubai’ programme.
