With over twenty years of experience in creating innovative solutions for complex challenges, Innovations Group is well-positioned to extend its expertise into this critical industry further, says the company. The group has been at the forefront of forward thinking and innovation since 1998 when it pioneered white-collar outsourcing as a business model in the UAE, it added.

"This expansion lines up with our dedication to safety, compliance, and environmental accountability. With our proficiency in waste management and our commitment to delivering tailored solutions, we are well-equipped to tackle the critical challenges in this industry. Our objective is to efficiently and securely handle waste in various settings such as hospitals, dental practices, pharmacies, vet clinics and other institutions, aiming to safeguard public health, protect the environment, and contribute to the UAE's sustainable development goals," he added.

According to the release, Innovations Group offers specialised biohazard waste management services, encompassing waste assessments, tailored management plans, and meticulous segregation and collection processes. The company offers cutting-edge technologies such as automated segregation systems and GPS-enabled transport to ensure secure and compliant handling, transportation, and disposal of hazardous materials. Along with the highest safety standards, certified facilities, and comprehensive staff training, Innovations Group is committed to setting a new benchmark in the UAE for safety, reliability, and sustainability. These efforts contribute toward fostering a healthier and more environmentally responsible community.

"Our approach toward waste management is underlined by safety and reliability," said Ravi Jethwani, CEO of Innovations Group. "We apply world-leading best practices and liaise with local authorities to ensure not only that our operations comply fully with UAE regulations but also that we minimize as far as possible the potential environmental impact of waste management. Our expansion into the management of biohazard wastes, therefore, was a logical extension of our commitment to providing one-stop solutions to meet the dynamic needs of our valued clients. We firmly believe these will hugely help towards making sustainable development in the UAE. We envision creating a safer, cleaner environment for generations to come by setting new standards in our industry”.

According to the company, entering the biohazard waste management sector is a core CSR strategy for Innovations Group. As a testament to this commitment, Innovations Group partnered with a leading healthcare provider in the UAE to reduce biohazard waste by 30%, through efficient segregation and recycling practices, thereby setting an example for others in the region.

Innovations Group aims to be a leader in sustainable waste management through continuous process and technology improvement, the company says. This will be achieved through increased investments in leading innovations, expanded service reach, and advancing training and compliance programs. Through strategic partnerships with government and private sector entities, Innovations Group aims to play a vital role in supporting broader environmental and public health initiatives, it concluded.
