The largest waste management organisation in the GCC consolidates its leading regional positon by partnering with Bahrain to deliver a range of waste management and sustainable solutions customised to the kingdom’s specific needs
Leading waste management provider, averda, has added the Kingdom of Bahrain to their growing list of partners in the GCC following an international tender which averda won on technical and financial merit. In a five year contract signed in Bahrain on December 8 with the Ministry of Works, Municipalities and Urban Planning, averda will deliver a range of waste management and sustainable solutions using proven systems and technology tailored to the kingdom’s specific needs.
The partnership is timely as environmental issues in the GCC are becoming ever more important, with member states now seeking sustainable solutions using proven methods and technology to safeguard the environment for future generations. The agreement with industry leader averda, was signed by Essam bin Abdulla Khalaf, Bahrain’s Minister of Works, Municipalities and Urban Planning and Maysarah Sukkar, chairman of averda.
This development is in alignment with Bahrain’s five year environmental plan and will ensure that the kingdom benefits from the best solutions tailored to fit its specific needs, while offering the best return on investment. It is envisaged that a cleaner, greener and safer environment will help attract visitors, while giving Bahrain an advantage where foreign direct investment (FDI) is concerned.

Maysarah Sukkar chairman of averda says: “We are proud to add Bahrain to our list of partners in the GCC that already includes UAE, KSA, Oman, and Qatar.
