In a significant step towards enhancing environmental sustainability in the Emirate of Ajman, the Municipality and Planning Department – Ajman (MPDA), in cooperation with Alserkal Group LLC, inaugurated the Envirol LLC Grease Trap Waste Receiving Plant in the Al Jurf Industrial Area. The plant aims to collect waste generated by oil and grease traps (specialized systems used to separate these materials from sewage), which plays great part in protecting drainage systems from blockage and curbing negative environmental impacts.
The plant is capable of receiving up to 10,000 gallons of this waste per day, with future expansion plans to meet the increasing demand.
His Excellency Abdul Rahman Mohammed Al Nuaimi, Director General of the MPDA, asserted that the project is a vital milestone within the framework of improving waste management in the Emirate of Ajman, noting the MPDA’s commitment to carrying out innovative and sustainable solutions that enhance a clean environment and improve life quality. This project reflects the MPDA’s vision on developing an integrated infrastructure that supports the Emirate’s sustainable development strategies, His Excellency added.
For his part, Eng. Khalid Moeen Al Hosani, the MPDA’s Executive Director of the Public Health and Environment Sector, explained that the plant adopts smart technologies to manage the process of collecting and transporting oily waste. He pointed out that the plant contributes to converting waste into useful resources when treated in the State’s specialized stations, such as treated water for agricultural use, fertilizer organic materials, and bio-oils that support the green economy.
Mr. Ahmed Eisa Alserkal, Chairman of Alserkal Group, expressed his pride in partnering with the MPDA in this important environmental project. He stressed that the Envirol plant in Ajman is a qualitative leap in the management of oil and grease trap waste, and embodies the two-party commitment to achieve sustainability goals.
The plant is an essential addition to the environmental infrastructure in the Emirate of Ajman, as it enhances public health and safety, lowers negative environmental impacts, and supports non-stopping efforts to transform the Emirate into a sustainable environmental development model.
