The UAE Circular Economy Council held its second meeting of 2025 at the Blue Biofuels factory in Abu Dhabi, chaired by H.E.
Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Tourism and Chairman of the Council. The meeting was attended by Sheikha
Shamma bint Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, President and CEO of the UAE Independent Climate Change Accelerators (UICCA),
alongside other public and private sector members.

The Council reviewed policy proposals for the second batch of circular economy initiatives under the UAE Circular Economy Agenda
2031, with a focus on sustainable transport, infrastructure, and clean industries.

Circular economy a key pillar of future economic growth

H.E. Bin Touq reaffirmed the UAE’s commitment to advancing circular economy policies in line with national development goals.

“The circular economy is a key pillar of the UAE’s new economic model for the next 50 years, which is built on more diversified and
resilient economic components. In this context, we will continue, through the Council, to strengthen cooperation with relevant federal
and local government entities as well as the private sector, to accelerate the development of UAE circular economy policies across
four main sectors—manufacturing, food, infrastructure, and transportation—ensuring the optimal utilization of natural and financial
resources,” he said.

Role of private sector and local innovation

His Excellency emphasised the importance of private sector involvement, urging businesses to adopt cleaner production methods

and circular technologies to reduce environmental pressures and support national sustainability goals.
