Averda: Most Innovative Waste Management Services Middle East 2017

Somebody’s got to do it – and do it really well. Perhaps not the most eye-catching of businesses, waste management is crucial to city life; without it no modern metropolis can function. Working towards a cleaner world since 1964, Dubai-based Averda operates three distinct business lines: municipal waste projects, technical waste solutions, and commercial collection services.

The company starts from a simple premise: clean cities improve the quality of life. Averda keeps the customer at the core of all its operations, anticipating needs, exceeding expectations, and welcoming suggestions. A pioneer in the digitisation of waste management, Averda also proactively investigates new solutions and approaches to its business.

The company’s projects include the sorting and recycling of waste and the proper management of landfills for matter that cannot be composted and incinerated. Averda maintains operations in fourteen countries from Ireland, where it collects and recycles household and commercial waste to Angola where it helped clean up Luanda. Whilst headquartered in Dubai, Averda maintains regional operations centres in Abu Dhabi, Johannesburg, and Casablanca. The company serves tens of millions of people 24/7 and is recognised globally for tailoring its processes and procedures to local needs and requirements.

The CFI.co judging panel commends Averda on its innovative approach to the waste management business such as liaising with Dubai’s burgeoning tech community for the disposal of e-waste. The judges are pleased to offer Averda the 2017 Most Innovative Waste Management Services Middle East Award.
