EcoWASTE 2015 joins forces with the eighth World Future Energy Summit (WFES) and the second International Water summit (IWS) to promote the interconnectivity between energy, water and waste for a sustainable future.

The exhibition EcoWASTE 2015 took place in Abu Dhabi from 19 to 22 January 2015, at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre in UAE.

EcoWASTE is a platform dedicated to showcasing next generation waste management and recycling solutions, will converge some of the biggest names globally in the integrated waste management domain to explore opportunities and debate challenges surrounding the crucial sustainability issue.

Hosted by Masdar and held in partnership with Tadweer,EcoWASTE is designed to cover the entire solid waste management services and solutions required to address the dramatic increase per capita of waste production in the region and the new methods of reusing, reducing and recycling whilst maintaining a sustainable environment, in an effort to:

 Help strengthen solid waste management efficiency

 Spread awareness among communities to improve the quality of life enjoyed and expected

Address regulatory mandates developed with budget conscious, innovative and functional design solutions

Highlight all the efforts, achievements and strategies of CWM as a lead agency responsible for controlling and coordinating waste management activities throughout the Emirate of Abu Dhabi

A key highlight of the international waste management exhibition was the showcase of Hong Kong based-GreenGood Oklin?s revolutionary composting machines that convert organic waste into high-grade compost within 24 hours.

The United Nation Environment Programme estimates that one third of the food produced worldwide, valued at US$1 trillion, is discarded by consumers. Closer to home, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region relies on imports for over 50% of its food and wastes nearly 16 million tonnes of wheat every year, an amount that could feed up to 100 million people.

With figures suggesting that close to 40% of the daily domestic waste produced by Abu Dhabi and Dubai residents consists of discarded food, managing organic waste is a growing problem in the UAE.

As part of its priority to address critical topics on recycling and effective waste collection, EcoWaste 2015 will highlight GreenGood Oklin?s food waste decomposition systems that can process between two to 500 tonnes of food waste per year.
