Cleanco’s latest accomplishment is a result of its active investments in advanced technologies, including its state-of-the-art ‘Rotary Kiln Incineration (RKI) technology’, recognised as the European Union’s Best Available Techniques (BAT). The company operates two RKI facilities in Al Dhafra and Al Ain Region, both designed, constructed, and operated in strict compliance with EU Directive 2000/76/EC and UAE Emission Standards as outlined in UAE laws. The advancement allows 90 to 95 per cent volume reduction, converting waste safely into ashes, which is then disposed of using secured Class I Hazardous Waste Engineered Cell. In addition, Cleanco is collaborating with strategic partners to explore innovative fly ash recovery and conversion solutions, further supporting the UAE’s circular economy goals. 

Jamal Abdulla Lootah, Group CEO and President of MEFMA, stated: “As one of the largest and most trusted ESP in the region, a daily cumulative treatment capacity of around 60 tons is an achievement that underscores the importance of what we do every day to protect businesses, communities, and the environment. In my opinion, it is a powerful statement about what responsible waste management can truly accomplish. At Cleanco, we are committed to shaping a greener future by providing innovative solutions and comprehensive support to help our clients adopt sustainable, long-term waste management practices.”
