TAQA opens recycling centers across UAE

ABU DHABI, UAE, 9 June, 2008 – Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC (TAQA) has today opened the fourth of its ten proposed recycling centres in the UAE, in partnership with Emirates Environmental Group (EEG).

"TAQA’s leadership in the education of environmental issues has resulted in our support of the creation of ten recycling sites at schools, colleges and universities across the Emirates," Peter Barker-Homek, Chief Executive Officer of TAQA, says. "We are proud to be involved with the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle Campaign, highlighting our active relationship with EEG and reflecting our continued dedication to protecting the environment."

EEG will operate and manage the ten proposed recycling centres. To date three have been opened at Al Hosn University in Abu Dhabi, American International School in Abu Dhabi and Global English High School in Al Ain, with the fourth opening at Our Own English High School in Fujairah. A further six centres will open in the coming months across the rest of the UAE.
The facilities will recycle paper, aluminum cans and plastic. The recyclables will be collected and transported by EEG to a factory for recycling. This will be the fourth recycling centre managed by EEG in the Emirates.

TAQA is an associate member of Emirates Environmental Group.
