averda to Deploy First of Its Kind KSA Underground Waste Collection System in Saudi Arabia
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, February 07, 2015 --(PR.com)-- averda, the largest waste management company in the MENA region, is launching the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s first underground waste containers. The deployment will bring one of the most efficient underground waste systems to heavily populated areas such as Riyadh, Jeddah and Jubail. With the Kingdom producing as much as 12m tonnes of solid waste per year, the underground containers provide a cost-effective, environmentally and aesthetically sound solution.
The system allows for the hygienic disposal of residential, commercial and public waste through the use of a plastic container as opposed to the typical underground concrete setup. By extending its storage capacity up to five cubic metres underground, the frequency of the waste collection is reduced compared to traditional and smaller bin systems. averda is constantly improving the carbon footprint of its operations in KSA and the wider region.
The underground waste containers are also designed with the aesthetics of the architectural style of the site in which it is based and are equipped with sensors that update the collection team regarding the status of its capacity and when ready to be collected.
“The underground waste solution provides cities with maximum storage capacity while utilising minimal space. This effective clean technology solution will provide KSA neighbourhoods with cleaner environments and more cost effective solutions for cities in Riyadh, Jeddah and Jubail,” stated Jeroen Vincent, chief operating officer of the GCC for averda. “averda continues to work closely with the Saudi government and partners to achieve a clean and green environment for the Kingdom.”
Semi-underground containers were designed for on-site reloading and collection. The ability to store waste underground has a natural cooling effect that lessens odour and bacterial formation.
In addition to the underground containers system, averda provides integrated waste management services in Riyadh, Jeddah and Jubail, including cleaning, collection, disposal, treatment and recovery. The company also supports the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology’s (KAUST) LEED Platinum certification, delivering sustainable integrated waste and resource management services since 2010. averda has also worked with Princess Nora University to deliver similar services since 2011 and since October last year, averda is delivering city cleaning and collection to King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC).
