Sharjah: Working to reach its goal of zero waste by 2015, Bee’ah, the environment and waste management company, is hosting the biggest Green Middle East exhibition and forum in the region with the aim of discussing ways to include the latest innovations and developments for a more sustainable future.

Ranking among the top 10 countries worldwide to have the highest per capita solid waste generation, GCC countries are currently facing a number of environmental challenges.

The third edition of Green Middle East will be held at the Sharjah Expo Center from October 28-30 and aims to be a platform for international manufacturers of environment technology, government representatives, academics and industry experts to discuss ways to implement innovative policies to regulate waste management.

“As the emirate of Sharjah continues to work towards its goal of achieving zero waste to landfill by 2015, the ability of sharing information and best practices with our colleagues from around the world is invaluable,” Khalid Al Huraimel, CEO, Beea’h, said.

Attracting 80 exhibitors and 3,575 trade visitors in 2012, the Green Middle East 2013 exhibition has more than 100 exhibitors already signed up and more than 10,000 trade visitors are expected.

This year’s event will also feature the Green Middle East Awards for Environmental Excellence which recognises individuals and organisations who demonstrate sustainability and environmental leadership as well as adopt best practices within both the private and public sectors.
