The facility integrates advanced recycling technologies with fibre recovery and customer
engagement initiatives. It has the capacity to process over 200,000 tons of textile waste,

90% of which would otherwise be discarded into landfills.

Sheikha Shamma bint Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, President & CEO of UAE Independent

Climate Change Accelerators (UICCA), said: "As we reach the midpoint of our 10-year
strategy, this milestone offers us an opportunity to both celebrate our achievements and
recalibrate our approach where needed. The progress we've made is encouraging, but the

road ahead demands even greater commitment, innovation, and accountability to clear,
measurable targets. We must not only set ambitious goals but also hold ourselves
responsible for achieving them through transparent monitoring and regular reporting."

Renuka Jagtiani, Chairwoman of Landmark Group, stated: "At Landmark Group, we believe
that protecting the environment is a shared responsibility that cannot be achieved in
isolation. Our journey toward adopting sustainable practices began over a decade ago with

the launch of Splash's sustainable collection. Since then, we have implemented a range of
initiatives at every stage of our product lifecycle and operations to reduce our
environmental footprint and promote the circular economy."
