The Emirates News Agency reported that the pact was inked at BEEAH headquarters in the presence of senior officials from both sides. Dr. Khalifa Musabeh Al Tunaiji CEO of EKTIFA and Khaled Al Huraimel Group CEO and Vice Chairman of BEEAH Group put their signatures to the document. The partnership combines BEEAH’s expertise in resource recovery with EKTIFA’s farming activities to cut waste volumes and lift resource productivity across Sharjah facilities.[[1]](https://www.wam.ae/en/article/c2vdk2c-beeah-ektifa-collaborate-waste-management-circular)
Dr. Al Tunaiji told Sharjah 24 that the agreement would expand the use of environmentally friendly recyclable and reusable materials while drawing on BEEAH’s advanced environmental services. He added that the initiative would reinforce circular economy concepts within agricultural processes. The two organisations plan to roll out loyalty and rewards schemes encouraging consumers to return packaging at collection points thereby boosting community involvement in recycling loops.[[2]](https://sharjah24.ae/en/Articles/2026/10/21/AL013)
BEEAH has maintained a long track record of scaling circular solutions across the UAE. Its corporate timeline shows the group helped Sharjah reach more than 90 percent landfill diversion after the 2023 commissioning of a major waste-to-energy facility. Separate figures from Tadweer Group’s 2025 sustainability report placed Abu Dhabi’s overall waste diversion at 37.7 percent after 3.5 million tons were kept out of landfills that year.[[3]](https://www.beeahgroup.com/about-beeah-group/)[[4]](https://www.albayan.ae/news/uae/abu-dhabi/1551082)
The latest tie-up supports broader national targets for food security and environmental resilience. EKTIFA operates multiple farms and production units that generate organic waste suitable for conversion into compost or other recoverable resources. Under the new framework officials from both entities will coordinate on pilot programmes that convert farm by-products into inputs for further agricultural use closing material loops at source.[[5]](https://x.com/beeahgroup/status/2113140224821956875)
BEEAH has expanded similar collaborations in recent months. In early 2026 the group formed a joint venture with KEZAD to deliver integrated waste services inside economic zones while another venture with LOHUM targeted EV battery recycling. These moves align with UAE-wide efforts to raise landfill diversion toward 80 percent by 2031 in key emirates according to regulator disclosures.[[3]](https://www.beeahgroup.com/about-beeah-group/)
Executives indicated the EKTIFA partnership would evolve through successive phases. Initial work will focus on mapping waste streams from livestock and dairy operations before introducing sorting composting and upcycling technologies. Later stages may incorporate digital tracking to measure recovery rates and demonstrate measurable gains in resource efficiency across the emirate’s food production chain.
