Saudi Arabia
Recycling waste and wastewater for a circular economy

Saudi Arabia is committed to establish a circular economy by 2030. Therefore, the kingdom is heavily investing in state-of-the-art solutions to generate a sustainable recycling industry of waste and wastewater. While most of the waste goes to landfills today, the country aims at recycling 85% of its waste by 2035. To introduce a successful waste recycling system, the country not only invests in the necessary infrastructure but also launches educational campaigns on separating waste and preserving valuable resources. 

In addition, the kingdom aims to treat 90% of its wastewater by 2040 to reuse it for national freshwater and agricultural demands.
