His Excellency said: “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.”

Private sector’s active participation in circular economy transition

His Excellency emphasized the importance of the private sector’s active participation in the national
circular economy ecosystem, encouraging it to adopt cleaner production methods and technologies,
reduce environmental pressures, and meet basic needs, in line with the UAE’s vision of becoming a
global leader in green development.

Sheikha Shamma added: “The circular economy is not just an environmental commitment; it represents a
strategic opportunity to achieve long-term, sustainable economic growth. In the UAE, we believe in our

ability to transform challenges into achievements, and we continuously strive to empower entrepreneurs
and develop innovative solutions that turn waste into valuable resources. We will continue to strengthen
collaboration with partners in both the government and private sectors to support policies that advance

the circular economy, ensuring sustainable prosperity and environmental responsibility for future
generations.”
