Dulsco,
an integrated solutions provider and the Official Waste Management
Partner of Expo 2020 Dubai, is all set to deliver the most sustainable
Expo ever by diverting 85% of the waste away from landfill using
different bespoke treatment and solutions.
David Stockton, CEO of
Dulsco said: “We are committed to helping Expo 2020 Dubai deliver its
sustainability goals and showcase the UAE’s unwavering efforts to
contribute to a more sustainable future for all whist showcasing and
maximizing our new technologies.”
As part of Dulsco’s
Waste2Resource initiative for Expo 2020 Dubai, waste will be recycled
and reused in the event, conserving valuable resources in the process,
in line with the Expo’s subtheme of Sustainability and the UAE’s move
towards achieving a circular economy. Dulsco trucks powered by biofuel
will collect all the waste collected from the Expo 2020 Dubai site and
transported to the Central Waste Facility (CWF) built onsite specially
for the event to ensure a streamline efficient recycling and recovery
process.
Once sorted, the recyclables will be transferred to the
larger Dulsco facilities located in UAE, such as the state-of-the-art
Material Recovery Facility, which is capable of sorting multiple waste
streams per day; Paper Pulp plant, where waste paper is converted into
quality molded products such as trays and cupholders; as well as our
Glass Upcycling initiative which turns glass collected from various
waste streams into prized ornaments, in partnership with SMEs to recycle
glass into memorabilia; plastic recycled into retail items such as
t-shirts, caps, etc; and used cooking oil into biofuel to power our
waste vehicles at the Expo 2020 Dubai site.
Organic waste from
the Expo 2020 Dubai will also be converted to compost that fertilises
the grounds of the existing site. Even construction waste from the site
was recycled at Dulsco’s Construction and Demolition Waste facility and
returned to help construct the Waste 2 Resource facility.
Other
recyclables such as metal spares and consumable parts will be repurposed
and recycled through its upcycling concept store initiative, The New
Old & Reloved, which transforms waste into imaginative and stylish
home décor.
“All these efforts bring the concept of the circular
economy to life which the UAE has been aggressively pursuing as part of
its sustainability agenda,” continued Stockton.
In addition,
Dulsco will be actively participating in Expo 2020 Dubai with its own
interactive platform, its very own Front of House stand at the
Opportunity District which will showcase its various sustainability
initiatives as a leading provider of environmental solutions and
increase awareness around sustainability in the region. It will feature a
highly entertaining and educational activity that will test Expo
visitors’ knowledge of the 4R’s of waste management – reduce, reuse,
repurpose and recycle – while highlighting its waste management
solutions and how its sustainability efforts are powering better and
safer communities.
Prior to Expo 2020 Dubai’s opening, Dulsco
launched an animated character, Birdy, that will lead its public
awareness campaign in the 4R’s which is aimed at generating widespread
support not just for the event but also for conservation efforts aimed
at protecting and preserving the environment.
With the opening of
the first World Expo to be held in the Middle East, Africa and South
Asia region, Dulsco is working hand-in-hand with Expo 2020 Dubai team to
ensure that the millions of visitors who are expected to come will have
a sustainable and memorable event experience.
