Imdaad and Enviroserve sign strategic MOU to advance sustainable waste management in the UAE
In a move that reinforces national sustainability objectives, Imdaad, a leading provider of integrated and sustainable facilities management services, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Enviroserve Services, the region's leading recycling and resource recovery company, to promote responsible e-waste collection and reduce carbon footprints across key developments in Dubai. Under this agreement, Enviroserve will implement smart e-waste collection bins, skips, and recycling points within Imdaad's managed client facilities, primarily in Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA). The partnership is projected to divert an estimated 80 to 100 tons of electronic waste and over 150 tons of dry recyclables from landfills in the first 12 months, resulting in a potential carbon savings of around 540 metric tons of CO₂e (carbon dioxide equivalent), based on current recycling offset standards. Mahmood Rasheed, Chief Operating Officer of Imdaad, commented: 'At Imdaad, we believe that sustainable waste management is not just a responsibility it's a critical driver of future-ready cities. This partnership with Enviroserve is a meaningful step toward realizing the UAE's Net Zero 2050 and Circular Economy ambitions. By integrating advanced recycling technologies into our operations, we are enabling our clients to reduce their environmental footprint while also fostering a culture of accountability, awareness, and innovation.' Shashidhar Y S, Board Member & Managing Director of Enviroserve, added: 'This partnership is more than operational; it's a strategic alignment of values. Every ton of e-waste we recycle properly avoids hazardous dumping and recovers valuable materials like copper, aluminum, and plastics. Together with Imdaad, we're helping companies turn their waste into measurable environmental actions.' In support of the UAE's Net Zero 2050 vision and Circular Economy Policy, the collaboration will also include joint awareness campaigns, co-branded digital content, and active participation in sustainability-focused industry events. The aim is to engage both corporate tenants and the wider community in adopting certified and transparent recycling practices. The MOU will remain in effect for an initial period of 12 months, with the option for renewal. It includes commitments to mutual confidentiality, ongoing collaboration, and adherence to the highest standards of regulatory compliance.

Imdaad and InterWater collaborate on cutting-edge water treatment project in Dubai
Dubai, UAE – Imdaad, a Dubai-based group of companies providing integrated, sustainable Facilities Management (FM) services to enhance the operational efficiencies of physical assets, has signed a new three-year contract with InterWater International LLC (InterWater) for the development of an innovative Reverse Osmosis (RO) water management project. This marks Imdaad's third collaboration with InterWater, a leading provider of mobile water and wastewater treatment solutions in the UAE and GCC since 2006. The signing ceremony, which took place at Imdaad corporate office was attended by Mahmood Rasheed, Chief Operating Officer of Imdaad and Michael Harrison, Managing Director of InterWater, along with representatives from both sides. Under the terms of the agreement, InterWater will construct Treated Sewage Effluent (TSE) Polishing Reverse Osmosis facilities across Imdaad's Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) with a capacity of around 3,000 CMD. (3,000,000 liters per day, 1.1 billion liters per year). The treated water will be utilized across various industries, including district cooling plants and the construction sector, and reduce reliance upon potable water sources. Imdaad will supply the required TSE on a regular basis, while also monitoring daily RO water production. For its part, Interwater will supply and operate its Mobile Containerized UF and RO technology, and provide operational manpower to the TSE plants, with dedicated personnel available around the clock. Commenting on the agreement, Mahmood Rasheed, Chief Operating Officer of Imdaad, said: 'This project marks a significant milestone in our two-year partnership with InterWater. Together, we have helped set new standards for water security, sustainability, and environmental stewardship across our industry. We are grateful for the strong foundation of trust we have built with InterWater, and look forward to providing world-class, sustainable services that will positively impact the UAE's environment.' Integrating TSE polishing RO plants into existing water management strategies provides high-quality water for industrial, construction and cooling tower purposes, reducing the need for desalination. Furthermore, by offering an alternative to conventional water sources, TSE polishing RO plants reduce the overall carbon footprint associated with water supply and wastewater management. With the wastewater recycling plants totaling 3,000 m3/day capacity, this project is expected to reduce the net carbon footprint by a total of over 4000 tons of carbon annually, the equivalent of planting as many as 20,000 trees each year. These innovative, green technologies are crucial to the long-term sustainability of the water management industry across the GCC region, and the Dubai vision to achieve a 50% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030.
