As several GCC countries rank in the top waste producers in the world, Dubai Municipality took a bold decision to launch the Middle East Waste Summit in 2009 where over 2,600 industry leaders from 50 countries gathered to debate and demonstrate the most efficient ways to rapidly develop next-generation waste management and recycling schemes in the region. During the summit, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Dubai Municipality and Imdaad, a Dubai World company that offers outsourced management services in facilities management and consultancy, helping mark the successful debut of the Middle East Waste Summit. “The first Middle East Waste Summit 2009 was very successful. It attracted a significant number of visitors and participants, as well as major lecturers. Furthermore, the summit delivered its key messages about the many issues and solutions regarding waste management and stressed the importance of enhancing the cooperation between the private and public sector”, said Eng. Hassan Mohammed Makki, Director of the Waste Management Department, Dubai Municipality.

Held in association with UNEP, and under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Minister of Finance and Industry and Chairman of Dubai Municipality, the Waste Summit will bring more than 6,000 industry leaders together for three days to debate, demonstrate and discover the solutions to meet this global challenge.
