Abu Dhabi The Municipality of Abu Dhabi City (ADM) has launched a new initiative targeting waste sorting and recycling at its main building and five affiliated external centres.
Othman Al Fouladi, director of the Facility and Security Division at ADM said in a press statement that the new initiative was part of the Municipality's initiatives and strategies to conserve the environment.
He noted that waste recycling constituted a vital aspect of the Municipality's objectives that would contribute to strengthening the Municipality's mission of achieving a clean environment free of contaminants and conserving and recycling resources using modern technologies and customised containers for each type of waste.
"The Municipality is one of the giant establishments having resources resulting in considerable consumption of substances and materials that can be re-utilised through waste recycling for positive social, environmental and health purposes," he said.
