The company’s services range from collecting bins and cleaning city streets to sorting, composting, recycling, and disposing of household waste, as well as safely managing highly regulated hazardous waste streams, including medical waste and dangerous chemicals. Recent investments have further developed the company’s waste treatment capabilities, aiming to provide circular recovery options in all markets.

The company currently employs over 9,000 people worldwide, helping provide secure employment in the communities it serves. Protection of environmental and human health is the company’s highest priority, and it operates in full compliance with international standards for quality control in all its markets, including UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Morocco, South Africa, and India.

Our Mission

To treat, recover, and recycle more than 80% of the waste that flows through our fleet and facilities using innovative sustainable solutions that satisfy our customers’ needs.

Together, we find solutions that recover or unlock the value in materials others call “waste.” We use the latest technology and our best creative minds to solve environmental problems and ensure a cleaner, more sustainable world for our children.

Deliver. Care. Inspire.

Our values remain the same as the day we were founded: deliver, care, and inspire. We deliver for our clients, care for our planet and our people, and inspire others through our actions.

Our Vision

Our world without waste.

We envision a world where materials are not merely discarded but are reused, recycled, and recovered—a world without waste.
