@aliagallery_art @averda Thank you. It was a very generous gift and I am looking forward to seeing more work from this talented artist.

[Malek Sukkar @Averda_CEO]

I greatly appreciate the confidence & support shown by our partners @IFC_MiddleEast and look forward to working together to speed up the urgently-needed transformation of waste management in Africa and the Middle East. Humankind is in a race we can't afford to lose, & this helps.

[AVERDA @averda]

Delighted to receive @IFC_org 's 1st investment into private waste management in Africa & Middle East. The $US30M will accelerate our sustainable projects in Oman, Morocco & South Africa, increasing the waste we compost, recycle and transform into energy. https://t.co/XMMAxknUVu

I'm delighted to welcome our new CFO Niteese Lenton to Averda, and look forward to working closely together to further develop our sustainable waste and recycling projects around the world. I would also like to thank our departing CFO Samir Sharma for his service. #WeAreAverda

[AVERDA @averda]

Say hello to @Averda’s new CFO, Niteese Lenton. She will lead Averda's global finance team, manage our financial reporting & budgets, & support business development. She joins at an exciting time, as we attract funds for our new sustainability initiatives. Welcome, Niteese!

[Malek Sukkar @Averda_CEO]

Great work! Many thanks to the @Averda team in Oman working so hard on this new project. Looking forward to announcing further initiatives and expansion plans in due course.

[AVERDA @averda]

Been busy mobilising manpower & equipment at Muscat & Salalah Intl Airports ahead of ops starting Wed. We’ll ensure all airport waste– landside, airside, catering & cargo -is segregated, collected & transported to appropriate facilities. Excited to get started! #WeAreAverda #Oman

[Malek Sukkar @Averda_CEO]

We are making progress on sustainability in the Middle East, but we have to move much, much faster. I've written this piece on how investment, public-private collaboration and regulatory changes can help support the creation of local circular economies https://t.co/EJeYuGnOlK

[Malek Sukkar @Averda_CEO]

I've really enjoyed these few days at @isrtconference, brilliantly hosted by @Omanbeah. Great opportunity to discuss building a more sustainable waste management system with colleagues, collaborators, friends and partners, including experts at @ISWA_org. #OmanـSustainabilityـWeek

[Malek Sukkar @Averda_CEO]

Big news here at @Averda - thanks to all the teams who showed the DFC people around and helped with the rigorous due diligence processes. Looking forward to sharing some more updates on our plastics recycling work soon...

[AVERDA @averda]

Excited to have secured a $45m investment loan from the US @DFCgov to support the construction & operation of plastics recycling facilities in Africa and India. A vote of confidence in our approach & step towards building vital local processing capacity. https://t.co/OvMdlqHAAy

[Malek Sukkar @Averda_CEO]

A few days ago, disposing of waste in Dubai suddenly become a lot costlier. No one likes their bills to go up, but I see this new law as essential to building a more circular economy in UAE, and a vital investment in our children's future. More here: https://t.co/FcFfb9RJBL

[Malek Sukkar @Averda_CEO]

Exciting to see #KSA 's plans for managing waste. I look forward to working with our partners in the Kingdom to support this integrated approach, including much more recycling, composting and waste-to-energy. https://t.co/q1aTg35as8

[Malek Sukkar @Averda_CEO]

This is fantastic news. My thanks to all the Averdians involved in conceiving and delivering this ambitious project.

[AVERDA @averda]

We're thrilled to be continuing our involvement with the Red Sea Project, bringing sustainable, environmentally-sensitive waste management to this prestigious tourism development. This includes electric waste collection vehicles, powered by solar energy. #zerowastetolandfill

[Malek Sukkar @Averda_CEO]

New tech is exciting, but application of some simple, old techniques can reduce GHG emissions from existing landfills and help achieve #NetZero and the new #methanepledge. I'm arguing it's time to urgently extend methane capture to the developing world: https://t.co/9X1b07WbF3

[Malek Sukkar @Averda_CEO]

Congrats to the @averda team in India. Great progress on the composting there too. Can’t wait to visit this lovely city - and meet the team there - as soon as travel allows.

[AVERDA @averda]

Excited to be awarded contract for Amritsar's historic Walled City, which contains the famed Golden Temple. This holy site for those of Sikh faith gets over 100k visitors a day. Honoured to be trusted to keep this very special place clean and sustainable. https://t.co/C5NU2LYFQ1

We welcome the Indian govt's proposal to ban single use plastics from July 2022. We are committed to recycling & recovering as much waste as we can, including in India, but it is far better to reduce volumes completely. Our vision is a world without waste. https://t.co/UKQhDlPCgr
