Why?
Recycling is important for many reasons. Often we promote recycling as a way to keep
waste out of landfills. It is also important to remember that recycling recovers valuable raw
materials. If we make aluminum cans from recycled cans, then we don't have to disturb the
environment to mine aluminum. Finally, recycling reduces pollution and saves energy that
would have been used when making product from 'virgin' or un-recycled raw materials
Industry Analyze
The domestic waste landfill in Riyadh received more than 3.5 million tones of diverse kinds
of waste over the first six months this year. Organized commercial and domestic waste
reached 1.4 million tones while other waste inclusive construction ruins reached 2.1 million
tones. According to sources at Riyadh city hall, the landfill is allowed to receive only solid
waste while medical, industrial and hazardous waste is sent away. So what happens to the
medical, industrial and construction waste? It’s obvious that Riyadh has facilities that are

taking in these three categories of waste to be processed and converted into recycled
products. Recycling as an industry is gaining ground for two reasons: economic and
environmental. It is one of the best waste management methods that reduce the need for land
filling and incineration and turns materials that would otherwise remain as waste into
valuable resources. Moreover, it offers commercial gains as the world turns more and more to
using recycled plastic, and paper in the packaging of consumer goods.
While recycling of all kinds of waste has mature in general, recycling of particular materials
like paper, PET plastic, aluminum soft drink cans, steel packaging and main appliances is
more on the growing. Construction and demolition waste recycling is also another zone of
growth. While the recycling industry across Europe is a grown one, the Middle East in
compare can be said to be in a resultant stage. However, this bodes well for entrepreneurs
who wish to enter into the region’s recycling industry and also for suppliers of waste
management technologies, waste management service providers and waste management
equipment suppliers. According to the World Bank estimates, tens of billions of dollars will
be invested in the waste management and environmental sectors in the Middle East over the
next 10 years. Amid this mounting concern for the environment, the market for waste
management technologies and products in Saudi Arabia is growing rapidly.
The 2nd globally Recycling and Waste Management display in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia which
was held from 1-4 November 2009 at the Riyadh global Exhibition Center was an eye-opener
to the widespread recycling business sitting in Riyadh. It also served as an index of the
potential for more rise in one of the busiest cities of the giant kingdom. Riyadh is prioritizing
industrial expansion over the development of economic and industrial cities like the King
Abdullah Economic City, a move that will encourage and strengthen investor interest in the
other cities. Ever since the King Abdullah Economic City was launched near Jeddah in
December 2005, Riyadh has revealed the mammoth scale of its ambitions by unveiling a
series of mega-city projects that include five other economic cities and several huge industrial
clusters such as the $40bn Sudair Industrial City in the north of Riyadh.
They put their sights on being in the top of five best countries in the global in which to do
business in future. The kingdom has worked hard to get up the World Bank’s Doing Business
union, growing 17 places to 16th since 2007.It is a given truth that a growth in GDP registers

a growth in consumer spending which gives growth to more waste. It is the same with
industrialization and civilian rise which increases levels of defilement and waste. Saudi
Arabia’s annual garbage production has reached 12 million tones, with each citizen
producing an average of 1.4 kilograms of waste per day, making the kingdom look for more
effective and advanced recycling and waste management solutions. Clean Middle East was
able to understand and analyze Riyadh’s waste management and recycling industry. The
presence of many big waste management service providers for the collection and
transportation of municipal, such as Abdullah Al-Khodary Sons Co., Al Fahhad and Sons

Companies, and Alwan Company, indicated the massive amount of municipal solid waste
that is being generated in Riyadh alone. Al Fahhad and Sons Company undertakes city

were a lot of inquiries from entrepreneurs regarding paper and plastic recycling. On the other
hand, companies involved in the trading of recycled paper and plastic were satisfied with the
returns from their businesses. Companies involved in the trading of metal scrap, paper and
