Dulsco has an innovative approach in place to meet the event’s requirements, while offering world-class waste management services approved by Expo 2020 Dubai and relevant national authorities, thus raising standards across the environmental protection sector regionally.

Expo 2020 Dubai will showcase a variety of creative ideas, technologies and solutions in the field of sustainability and environmental protection, he added, highlighting the daily average volume of waste generated during the first ten days of the event amounted to 170 tonnes, which is likely to increase in the coming period with the surge in visitor number on weekends, vacations and the winter holidays, reaching some 200 to 250 tonnes per day. However, Dulsco’s team is prepared for any increase and is ready to transport, sort and process this waste, he assured.

Speaking of Dulsco’s innovative solutions to be used at the event, Mohamad noted that, as part of the “Waste to Resource” initiative, launched at Expo 2020 Dubai, Dulsco set up 1,500 smart bins across the Expo 2020 Dubai site along with ten biofuel-powered waste collection trucks to reduce the event’s carbon footprint.

He further added, construction waste will be being recycled at the Dulsco Construction and Demolition Facility, while recyclable materials, including metal and consumable parts, will be recycled through the ‘The New Old and Reloved by Dulsco’ brand, which transforms waste into creative and elegant home decor.
