Recognizing the global challenge posed by plastic waste and its environmental impact, ADTD acknowledges the threat of plastic bottle accumulation and its detrimental effects on ecosystems worldwide. In response, the collaboration with Renie aims to implement an integrated system for collecting plastic bottles at tourism facilities across the emirate.
As part of this initiative, Renie will install collection boxes in hotel properties throughout the emirate, offering practical solutions for both visitors and the local community. The objective is to encourage the adoption of sustainable practices in plastic bottle disposal, attracting strategic partners and fostering community participation to contribute to environmental preservation.

He praised the efforts made to achieve balanced economic growth while prioritizing environmental care and societal well-being. Alhashmi stated, “Through our collaboration with Renie, we aim to set a positive example for society and motivate other organizations to adopt sustainable practices.”
Mr. Jorden Jackers, COO of Renie, echoed optimism about the partnership’s implementation, stating, “Renie is proud to collaborate with ADTD in this impactful initiative. We aspire to encourage widespread participation and contribute to creating a more sustainable future.”
ADTD invites all partners, especially those in the hotel and hospitality sector, to actively engage in this initiative. Renie will provide plastic bottle collection boxes in their work areas, and the Renie team will offer comprehensive details about the assembly system to all interested parties.
This collaboration signifies a strategic move toward making the tourism attractions in the emirate of Ajman more sustainable and environmentally conscious, with the Ajman Department of Tourism Development and Renie leading the way in this pioneering initiative.
