The analysis focuses on successful practices, implementation strategies, and government roles in creating effective recycling programs.

Title:

Content: Hussam Abdulnabi (Dubai)
Companies operating in the UAE are keen to implement the concept of a circular economy, which considers waste produced (today) as raw materials (for tomorrow). In the UAE, everything is recyclable and reusable, starting from commercial centers and residential complexes that convert food waste into organic fertilizer to grow plants on rooftops and inside malls.
Real estate companies in the UAE have successfully collaborated with specialized companies to recycle construction waste, and the country has seen office towers recycle steel and cement and use water from the air conditioning system to irrigate plants.
In addition, factories collect waste from schools, residential communities and commercial entities and transfer it to recycling facilities for waste sorting, where plastic materials are recycled and converted into yarns for reuse as fabrics or plastic bands, usually used in packaging materials.
Not only are the companies operating in the country making the transition from a linear economy (which relies on obtaining and manufacturing raw materials and then disposing of waste) to a circular economy, where all types of waste, including electronic waste, wood, palm and Christmas tree residues, and personal care packaging products are recycled to produce reusable materials.
Processing Plant
Aldar Investments has announced a comprehensive AED 500 million refurbishment plan for Yas Mall, which includes the addition of a specially designed treatment plant to convert food waste into bio-soil, which will be used as organic fertilizer for 115,000 square meters of the mall ’ s green space.
In addition, 60,000 light bulbs will be replaced by energy-saving LED lights in all sections of the mall.
The changes will reduce Yas Mall ’ s carbon footprint by 59 tonnes per year and increase the mall ’ s recycling rate from 30% to 40%.
Environmentally Friendly Tower
During the construction of the ICD Brookfield Place commercial office tower, located in the DIFC, more than 87% of the construction waste was recycled to reduce the amount of waste, and 30% of the materials used in the construction of the building were recycled to conserve natural and local resources and reduce the environmental impact of moving materials. materials accurately at the design and construction stage.
The water from the air conditioning system is recycled and used to irrigate the plants, thus eliminating the water taps for irrigating the plants that occupy up to 140,000 square feet of the project area.
ICD Brookfield announced that the tower has been awarded the Platinum Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, the highest rating given by the American Council for Environmentally Friendly Buildings (ACB) in terms of design, construction, operations and performance. It is the tallest and largest office building in the Middle East, Europe and Africa to achieve this designation, and one of the world ’ s 20 largest platinum certified projects.
Environmentally Friendly Bank
In February, Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB) opened its first eco-friendly branch in Dalma Mall, Abu Dhabi, to be the first branch of an Islamic bank to receive the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification from the US Green Building Council.
The bank ’ s new branch takes into account the application of best building strategies and practices aimed at saving energy and water consumption, reducing waste, and promoting recycling and environmental quality.
Energy efficiency measures help achieve cost savings of approximately 25% and reduce water and electricity consumption by 45% compared to conventional buildings.

Recycling of packaging
PepsiCo and its local packaging partner Dubai Refreshments have confirmed their commitment to collect and recycle 100% of Aquafina plastic bottles produced in the UAE in 2021 to support the UAE ’ s plan to reduce landfill by 75% this year.
The waste will be collected from schools, residential communities and commercial entities and transported to a recycling facility for waste sorting, where the plastics will be recycled and converted into yarns for reuse as plastic fabrics or bands, usually used in packaging materials.
The pledge is part of an ongoing commitment to recycling, recycling and waste reduction to build a more sustainable food system.
The company ’ s vision is to build a world where plastics do not become waste by supporting the transition from a linear economy to a circular economy.
This means recycling and using packaging materials rather than treating them as waste.
Tetra Pak in the Middle East and Africa, a food packaging solutions company, revealed that it is working to design optimal sustainable food packaging – a cardboard packaging made entirely of renewable and recyclable materials sourced from reliable sources, which is completely recyclable and carbon-free, allowing for ambient distribution and meeting food safety requirements.
Manure production
Farnek, a UAE-based facility management, innovation and sustainability specialist, transfers 125 kilograms of food waste per day from the company ’ s new employee residential building, Farnek Village, and the resulting fertilizer is used to grow plants in the building ’ s vertical roof garden, helping the company create a circular economy concept.
For this purpose, the company uses a device to recycle food waste and convert it into fertilizer, which is three meters long, one meter wide, 1.3 meters high, and 125 kg capacity.
Where the device processes all kinds of organic waste such as: curry, roti, rice, bread, egg shells, chicken, lamb, fish, fish bones, chicken bones, fruits, vegetables, peels and other kitchen waste.
Wood Recycling
CHEP, a sustainable logistics and circular economy company, announced its global sustainability goals for 2025, which included taking immediate action to change the way products are transported and delivered to people around the world by pledging to ensure 100% sustainable wood indefinitely, committing to renewable electricity in all its global operations, becoming carbon neutral by 2025, and ensuring that no product-related materials are sent to landfills and delivering reusable products. 30% of plastic waste is recycled or developed.
In the same vein, Abu Dhabi Waste Management Center (Tadweer) announced at the beginning of June, the opening of a license for wood recycling activity to companies specialized in wood waste treatment and recycling, as part of its continuous efforts to reduce the waste sent to landfills by 75%.

Parliamentary question on the plan to develop the garbage recycling system at the level of the Republic
MP Mervat Azar Nasrallah, a member of the House of Representatives, submitted a parliamentary question to Chancellor Dr. Hanafi Jebali, President of the Council, addressed to Dr. Mostafa Madbouly, Prime Minister, and Dr. Yasmine Fouad, Minister of Environment, about the ministry ’ s plan and proposed policies to develop the garbage recycling system at the level of the Republic.
"Azar" said in her question, that the file of recycling garbage is one of the important files, because this file represents a great danger to the daily life of citizens, pointing out that the problem of garbage and the lack of safe disposal, causes the spread of many serious diseases and epidemics such as respiratory diseases, kidney failure and cancer.
She explained that the disposal of harmful waste from landfill or incineration causes an environmental disaster that harms human health and plants as a result of the emission of toxic gases from waste incineration processes, such as carbon dioxide, methane and ammonia, which contributes to the deepening of global warming.
MP Mervat Azar pointed out that the file of waste recycling is one of the most important files that must be worked on to maximize the benefit of them, as the volume of waste in Egypt is about 90 million tons annually, including 26 million tons of solid waste, pointing out that it can achieve a huge economic benefit by exploiting it economically in the production of fertilizers and the production of energy and electricity.
“Azar ” stressed that recycling garbage and the optimal use of it will become an important source of national income, through which the garbage crisis turns from a problem that concerns everyone to an important source of energy, noting that recycling garbage is not only a source of energy, but it is possible to benefit from recycling plastic waste in the powder industry, which is used in the manufacture of barrels and cans, as well as recycling glass and paper.
In Egypt, the raw material is exported and imported again manufactured, so why was it not manufactured in Egypt and the work of recycling factories for all waste?

## Top Performing Countries

### Germany
Germany leads globally in waste management with a recycling rate of approximately 67%.

Key practices include:
- **Dual System (Grüner Punkt)**: A comprehensive system where manufacturers pay for packaging recycling
- **Strict separation requirements**: Citizens must sort waste into multiple categories (paper, glass, plastics, organic waste, residual waste)
- **Government role**: Federal laws mandate recycling targets and extended producer responsibility.

The German Federal Ministry for the Environment provides regulatory framework and funding support.

### South Korea
South Korea achieves over 60% recycling rates through innovative approaches:
- **Pay-as-you-throw system**: Residents pay for

Putin's Lessons for Children
The head of state flew to Vladivostok on September 1.
Here, at the All-Russian Children's Center "Ocean", Vladimir Putin held a meeting with schoolchildren - winners of competitions and competitions in the field of culture, art, science and sports, timed to coincide with the Knowledge Day.
First of all, I want to congratulate you, all schoolchildren, all students, all teachers and teachers on a wonderful holiday, a happy New Year.
Happy new school year.
You see, we have one of the most favorite holidays in the country - Christmas and New Year.
It ’ s also a new year, a new school year.
Of course, I want to congratulate the kids, first-graders who will go to school for the first time, as well as their parents, mothers, grandmothers and educators.
If for senior schoolchildren everything is already going more or less along the road, there are meetings with friends, with peers, there is a continuation of the learning process to which, starting from the second or third grade, they are more or less all accustomed, then for first-graders it is a new page in life.
The beginning of their destiny in terms of gaining knowledge and choosing their place in life, choosing the path they will follow later in life.
This is a very important period in the life of children.
Therefore, as bureaucrats say in such cases, I want to take this opportunity to ask all the other schoolchildren of the country to meet the kids in schools with special warmth.
And support them at every step, in the literal and figurative sense of the word.
That's the first thing I wanted to say.
How to distinguish information garbage from real knowledge
The second one.
You know that we revived the Soviet society "Knowledge" some time ago.
Its goal is to help people, including young people, find themselves, find that interesting direction that captures a person and with which he would like to connect for the rest of his life.
Of course, in the modern world there are many different information resources.
You get there - you can sort of know everything - from the stars to the center of the Earth, from nails to diamonds.
But there's a problem.
It is in the quality of this information.
There is a lot of information garbage, which is often presented as the truth in the last resort.
But this cannot be believed, because often this is not the opinion of real true specialists, but people who pretend to be such.
And the society "Knowledge" - it just appeals to the opinion of real professionals in each narrow area of knowledge.
And they can certainly be trusted.
On their information, you can build your own ideas about this or that phenomenon, about its future development.
And see from the outside how interesting it is to you, whether it will be something that you are ready to devote your whole life to then.
Well, we have a formal class today, right?
If this were a real lesson, then I would have to choose a topic.
I have a basic, as you probably know, legal education.
I went to university for five years.
We had a very good teaching and teaching staff.
We can only be proud of the people who taught us.
In this sense, I can consider myself an expert to some extent.
Or, for example, in the field of economics, which I do almost every day.
But I defended myself on the topic of the reproduction of the mineral resource base – this is an extremely important thing for our economy.
I also feel like an expert and expert here.
And you could talk so that, as they say, from the teeth bounces.
Wake me up at night and I will tell you everything in the sphere of domestic and foreign policy.
And we could talk about that too.
I chose history as my theme.
In this field, I do not consider myself an expert, an expert.
Therefore, we will not have a lesson, but a conversation on the proposed topic.
To stimulate interest in history - the foundation of all other knowledge
Why did I focus on this area of knowledge?
Because, well, first of all, she's very interesting.
Secondly, it is very important and covers all areas of knowledge.
In fact, history is the core, the foundation of all humanitarian knowledge.
This is literature, this is music, this is philosophy, natural science, and so on.
And all this is extremely important not only because it is interesting to see what happened and how it was before.
This is important in order to understand the conditions in which we live today, and what awaits us next.
Look, I have already said that history is somehow relevant to all areas of knowledge.
Today, which areas are the most relevant, significant, which ones are heard?
What do we hear or talk about most often in the media?
Let's go this way.
I know you've been asked what you'd like to be.
From this we will now take a look at these spheres of activity and areas of knowledge, and then we will go further according to the plan that I, as it were, drew for myself internally.
But what I'd like to say.
Every lecture, every lesson, every conversation, like ours today, must have a purpose.
Why are we doing this?
For what I dedicate my time, I take your time for this conversation.
For what purpose?
The goal is simple.
If I were some kind of specialist, I would continue to tell you something about history that you don't know, or that you might not know.
But since I am not, my goal is simpler: to arouse your interest in history.
Encourage you to study it.
And that ’ s why it needs to be done – we ’ ll talk to you in more detail now, after we get acquainted with your answers to the question of who you would like to become.
We have this information somewhere, will we get it on the screen?
Look at how.
So, the larger the letters, the more people answered that they would like to be, say, a teacher, a diplomat, a translator, a journalist, a state administrator, an architect, a philologist, a psychologist, a dentist, even an employee, a sports coach, a biotechnologist, an urban engineer, an ecologist.
Such diversity.
This suggests that you have different and very advanced interests.
Let ’ s say, the environment.
We hear about it every day – about the need to preserve nature, protect it, and so on.
Of course, we hear about climate change.
It is changing at a pace that causes a rash and horror in some specialists.
History can tell us what happened thousands of years ago.
2020 was the second warmest year on record.
And climate change in some regions of Russia is happening twice as fast as in other regions of the world.
This opens up opportunities and challenges for us.
But why did I touch on this topic?
We talk about history as one way to study what happened on the planet.
I will share with you what the experts told me.
They drill and remove so-called cores from the ground.
Drilled deep.
And the deeper it goes, the further it goes into the depths of the centuries.
Then they study the breed that they get.
With the help of modern methods of analysis, they understand what happened on a planet with a climate 100, 200, 300, a thousand, many thousands of years ago.
Then they build a sinusoid, as it all developed on the planet.
Up until our day.
And then extend this sinusode further.
And this is an analysis of what could happen on the planet in the next thousand years.
We have many times in the depths of the centuries there were serious disasters, when almost all life on the planet died.
And it ’ s not just the dinosaurs that we ’ re constantly talking about.
Tens, hundreds of millions of years ago, events occurred that led to the almost complete extinction of all life - both reptiles and ocean dwellers died, and those who found themselves on earth.
What was this about?
Different assumptions, and different reasons are called: these are possible outbursts of new superstars close to the Earth, and powerful volcanic eruptions that created some kind of “nuclear winter ”, and the fall of meteorites up to 10 kilometers in size, and so on.
But this is all history, the history of our planet.
And to understand how anthropogenic emissions of today affect real change, you need to take into account all these factors, and not just consider what is happening in our country.
It is necessary to look at what is happening in the galaxy, in the nearest space, what is happening in the bowels of the Earth.

I was in the North on the Extreme and there is permafrost.
The ice cave is full of blue ice.
And you can count on the slices, which of them belongs to which century.
Somewhere deep enough, a clear black trail is visible, approximately at a depth of several thousand years ago.
And then there ’ s the blue ice again.
And suddenly, somewhere deep enough, maybe... which means it happened about a thousand years ago, well, about, I don't remember now, but many centuries ago, a steady, clear black trail.
And then there's the blue ice again.
Where did it come from?
There were no car emissions.
Most likely, the black trail was the result of a volcanic eruption.
In order to understand what is happening now and what may happen in the future, it is necessary to know all this.
And that is history too.
Of course, and part of a particular science, first of all.
History is not just a set of numbers, names, events.
This is the foundation of humanitarian knowledge itself, on the basis of which we can look at what is happening today and how we need to behave in the future.
Russia has lost millions of people.
What became a trigger?
In our country, during the last twentieth century, the Russian statehood collapsed twice.
After the revolution of 1917, the Russian Empire ceased to exist.
Russia lost huge territories, in the west, in the north.
Gradually recovered.
And then there was the collapse of the Soviet Union.
And why?
We have to analyze everything carefully.
What was the trigger, what was the trigger for these dramatic events.
If it hadn ’ t happened, we would have a different country.
Some experts believe that we would have a population of under 500 million people now.
Just think about it.
We now have $146 million.
Is there a difference?
And this is the aggregate power of the state, which is constantly increasing in geometric progression, creating an increasingly powerful basis for development, existence, and well-being.
We need to look at what was at the root of these tragic events.
In order not to allow anything like this in the future.
To understand how we strengthen ourselves, how we build relationships with our neighbors.
Or take the events that are now in the hearing and that are happening near us.
I mean Afghanistan.
What happened there?
For 20 years, American troops have been present in this territory, and all these 20 years have been trying to "civilize" the people who live there.
And in fact - to introduce their own norms and standards of life, in the broadest sense of the word, including in the political organization of society.
And what is the result?
Some tragedies, some losses - for those who did this, for the United States, and, especially, for those people who live on the territory of Afghanistan.
The result is zero, if not to say minus everything went.
And why?
The answer to this question is very simple.
If someone does something to someone, then he must proceed from the history, culture, philosophy of life of these people.
You have to respect their traditions.
It must be understood that nothing can be imposed from the outside.
The situation needs to mature.
And if someone wants her to mature faster, better, then you need to help people.
Yes, you can and should do it.
But this must be done in a civilized way, carefully.
Maintaining positive trends, not in a hurry.
We need to be patient.
What's going on now?
Without taking into account all these factors, including historical ones, it is almost impossible to achieve something positive.
Of course, we have to take all this into account for ourselves.
You have the profession of a journalist on the blackboard.
It's a very important thing.
Of course, everyone has the right to their own opinion, has the right to express their position.
But, nevertheless, the role of the media, first of all, to convey to its audience, to the listener objective information and to enable a person to come to a conclusion about what is good and what is bad and where to move.
The profession of a teacher is extremely important.
The role of the teacher and teacher is extremely important.
The vast majority choose this profession.
We have a lot of conversations today about what education should be like.
It should be implemented online, or it should be offline, directly, in direct contact.
Well, of course, modern ways of presenting knowledge, transferring them – they should be used, without any doubt.
But there are some circumstances.
This is not my opinion, this is the opinion of the majority of experts.
One of the criteria of work efficiency is the ability to work in a team.
How will you learn to work in a team if you are online all the time?
It's impossible.
This means that one of the most important criteria for success will be lost.
You have a teacher and that is very important.
Because it is important not just to transfer knowledge, it is also important how to do it.
After all, a scalpel can be an object that saves a life, or it can become a murder weapon.
So is knowledge.
There is an atomic bomb, and there are nuclear power plants.
A big difference, right?
And the role of the teacher is precisely that all this knowledge, all the skills that a person acquires, are used not only for the benefit of himself, but also for the benefit of other people, the whole society, all mankind.
And it is not by chance that I am very pleased that this is in your center, the profession is a teacher, a tutor.
And we, of course, answering both your questions and those questions that we often have, will strive to combine both direct learning and use modern methods of presenting material.
Family history is the history of the Motherland
History is very important not only in relation to our entire country, but also to our small Motherland, and the history of the family.
This is important because it spiritually binds each person to the land on which he lives.
He is starting to see himself as a part of a great country.
When we study the history of the family, there is information that one of our ancestors took part in some important events.
At the same time, they were all quite young people.
Now we are celebrating the 800th anniversary of Alexander Nevsky.
He's a statesman, a military commander.
And the saint – in the face of saints he was raised by the Russian Orthodox Church.
Do you know how old he was when he brilliantly won the battle with the dog knights, when he led the Russian army?
Only 19 years.
And his brother, who fought alongside him with a gun in his hands, was, in my opinion, 16 years old.
Do you have any idea what that is?
And our military leaders during the Second World War, the Great Patriotic War?
Very young people.
Many were not 40.
Regiments, divisions, and then armies were commanded.
And the builders of Transsib, BAM?
And those who conquered the territory of the Far East?
These are usually mostly young people.
They were passionate about their business.
And, of course, to know this is extremely important, and extremely useful, in order to understand what happened, who and how to achieve success.
You need to understand and know this in order to be successful yourself.
