To reduce their reliance on oil revenues, many GCC countries have embarked on programmes of industrial diversification (AME Info). Multinational companies have invested in the development of petrochemical complexes, fertilizer plants, refineries and chemical plants. These industrial activities are major generators of hazardous waste (GEO 2000, UNEP). In relation with the expected increased development and industrialization, Abu Dhabi Environment Agency (EAD) is expecting a large increase in the generation of wastes, and there is need for more facilities for the treatment and disposal of hazardous waste in particular (Abu Dhabi Environment Strategy, 2008 - 2012).
The increasing environmental awareness, and industrial boom are key factors driving the corporate attention towards hazardous waste management as part of their sustainability policies, hence providing enormous opportunities in the Middle East. Know what and where these opportunities are and understand the policies, legislation, monitoring and control for these projects in the Middle East.

management industry today. Get answers to these pressing questions:
Hear the answers to these questions at the Conference as well as successful experiences in the waste minimization and recycling programs.
