Countries in the Gulf region have the highest per capita waste generation. Fast-paced industrial growth, recent construction boom, increasing population and rapid urbanisation are factors contributing to the waste challenges.

COWI can assist on the implementation of next generation waste management practices in the GCC to address challenges of climate change, environmental preservation and sustainability.

Our services include:

• Integrated waste management strategies and planning 
• Waste collection and handling 
• Waste treatment and waste-to-energy 
• Landfilling of waste 
• Hazardous and health care waste management

With more than 30 years of experience in integrated waste management consultancy, COWI is well positioned to offer sound guidance and advice to Gulf clients. Our specialists have worked with authorities and industries for all components of the waste hierarchy.

Whenever required, the work is carried out in multidisciplinary project groups consisting of engineers, institutional experts, economists, chemists, biologists, sociologists, geologists, hydro-geologists and environmental lawyers.
