12/28/24, 7:10 PM UAE Circular Economy Council discusses new plans, proposals for implementation of Circular Economy Policy 2021-2031 - Aletih…
After the meeting, Bin Touq witnessed the opening of the ‘Landmark CircuLife’ textile recycling facility, a
groundbreaking initiative by the Group and a first of its kind project in the UAE and the wider region.

He emphasised that this collaboration reflects the UAE's dedication to promoting green growth through strong public-

private partnerships, reinforcing the country's role as a global leader in embracing circular economy principles.

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."
