5. THE CHALLENGE OF WASTE IN THE UAE
TODAY, every resident of the UAE produces an average of 2.5 kg of waste a day,
which amounts to 2,500,000 Kg of solid waste daily in Sharjah alone.
Compare that to:
Kg/Person/Day
0.5 kg/person/day in India
0.8 kg/person/day in Malaysia
0.85 kg/person/day in Beijing
1.14 kg/person/day in Nova Scotia, Canada
1.23 kg/person/day in Turkey
2.0 kg/person/day in Ontario, Canada
2.53 kg/person/day in California, USA
60% of that waste can be Recycled!

TYRE RECLING FACILITY:
•
A world-class facility using environmental cryogenic process to recycle
used tyres with a daily capacity to process 9,000 used tyres.
•
Liquid nitrogen is used to flash freeze the tyres at minus -196 degrees
Celsius, which become brittle and broken down like glass, by cracker
mills, into crumb granules.
•
Recycled rubber is used for indoor and outdoor flooring applications,
running tracks, landscaping, equestrian, roads and road asphalt.
2015 ZERO-WASTE

The TRF uses a
highly advanced
environmental
cryogenic process to
recycle 9,000 used
tyres per day.
30. SETUP RECYCLING FACILITIES TO RECYCLE SEGREGATED MATERIALS
CONSTRUCTION & DEMOLITION WASTE RECYCLING FACILITY:
• One of the busiest facilities in the world, given the rate of construction in
the UAE.
• The facility recycles construction, demolition and land clearing debris
resulting from the construction industry.
• Annual capacity of more than 350,000 tonnes.
2015 ZERO-WASTE
TO LANDFILL
More than 6,000 tonnes of construction
waste made up of concrete, bricks, wood,
insulation and asphalt, is processed daily
at Bee’ah’s Construction & Demolition
Waste Recycling Facility, for re-use as
aggregate for roads, pavements and
walkways.
31. SETUP RECYCLING FACILITIES TO RECYCLE SEGREGATED MATERIALS
LIQUID WASTE PROCESSING & RECYCLING:
• 2 lagoons form the liquid waste processing unit – one for oil and
the other for liquid chemical waste.
• Haulage vehicles discharge hydrocarbon based water into the oil
lagoon, where the oil will fragment from the water and skimmed,
collected and resold.
• The water will then be pumped into the water lagoon and
pumped into the mobile tankers for dust suppression on site.
• This is a safe and efficient solution for the use of the grey water.
2015 ZERO-WASTE
TO LANDFILL
Two oil lagoons and industrial
waste water evaporation
ponds separate oil and waste from
water, which are
then processed for reuse in
irrigation and energy.
32. SETUP RECYCLING FACILITIES TO RECYCLE SEGREGATED MATERIALS
ORGANIC & GREEN WASTE COMPOSTING:
•
The Compost plant processes organic and vegetation waste via
biological degradation by microorganisms.
•
This natural process breaks down organic waste into smaller organic
compounds producing an earthy nutrient-rich compost that can be used
in several applications – fertilizer and/or conditioner for gardening.
•
In future, the Plant will incorporate new innovations and processes, and
find modern ways of expanding its scope and capabilities to treat
other organic wastes to meet the high quality demands of our clients.
