Circular Economy in the UAE: Ambition in Action
February 21, 2026 CEI Team
The United Arab Emirates is leading the way in redefining sustainable development through circular economy strategies embedded in national policy, innovation ecosystems, and cross-sector collaboration.
From Masdar City’s zero-waste urban model to Dubai’s integrated waste-to-energy projects and the launch of the UAE Circular Economy Policy 2021–2031, the country is actively advancing a circular transformation at scale.
CEI celebrates the UAE’s progress and stands ready to support through:
- Circular Economy Roadmaps
- Maturity Assessments
- Policy and Sectoral Benchmarking
- Circular KPI Development
- Custom Training & Innovation Labs
The journey toward a regenerative economy is bold, and the UAE is well-positioned to lead it.
Let’s collaborate to design smarter, more circular systems for tomorrow.
