Dubai is a city known for its innovation and forward-thinking infrastructure. But behind the towering skylines and vibrant markets lies a growing challenge: food waste. With an estimated 38% of food in the UAE going to waste, there’s an urgent need to shift from dumping to recycling and composting—and that’s where Green Land Recycling Solutions steps in.
The Hidden Cost of Food Waste
Food waste doesn’t just take up space in landfills. In a city like Dubai, where land and resources are valuable, this waste releases methane gas, a potent contributor to climate change. On top of that, wasted food represents wasted water, energy, packaging, and labour.
What’s the solution? Composting—a sustainable, natural way to recycle food waste into nutrient-rich soil.
Why Composting Makes Sense for Dubai
In the UAE’s arid environment, soil quality is poor, and water conservation is critical. Composting addresses both:
- Reduces landfill volume and methane emissions
- Improves soil fertility and structure
- Supports urban farming and landscaping
- Lowers carbon footprint for businesses and municipalities
Dubai’s sustainability goals, including the UAE Circular Economy Policy 2031 and Zero Waste initiatives, encourage composting as a key waste management strategy.
