C&D Waste Recycling
OVERVIEW
Al Dhafra Recycling Industries (ADRI) is at the forefront of revolutionizing construction and demolition (C&D) waste management in UAE. We convert potential environmental liabilities into valuable, eco-friendly resources through a meticulous, technologically advanced recycling process. Our unwavering commitment to stringent environmental compliance, powered by innovations like 90% solar energy and smart IoT systems, ensures that every recycled aggregate we produce not only meets the highest quality standards but also actively propels the UAE towards its Net Zero ambitions and a thriving circular economy.
RESPONSIBLE C&D WASTE RECYCLING
THE NEED
Construction and Demolition (C&D) activities, vital for progress, generate substantial waste. If unmanaged, this waste overwhelms landfills and depletes our planet's finite natural resources. C&D recycling is a critical solution, offering a pathway to conserve virgin materials, drastically cut energy consumption (by up to tenfold in material production), and reduce carbon emissions.
THE ADRI SOLUTION
At ADRI, we transform this challenge into an opportunity. By converting C&D waste into high-quality reusable products, we significantly reduce landfill burdens, champion a circular economy, and foster a cleaner environment. Our efforts directly support UAE's sustainability vision and contribute to global environmental preservation. Learn how this aligns with Our Sustainability Impact.

OUR RECYCLING JOURNEY

Secure Intake
C&D materials arrive and undergo immediate, rigorous inspection for hazardous substances. Only compliant materials proceed, safeguarding our process integrity.

Purity Focus
Advanced mechanical and manual sorting techniques remove contaminants (metals, plastics, wood), ensuring high-quality feedstock for recycling.

Precision Transformation
Purified materials are fed into cutting-edge crushers and screeners, meticulously processed to produce aggregates of specific sizes and grades.
Certified Excellence
Our Recycled Aggregates undergo continuous in-house and third-party laboratory testing (e.g., by Element Materials Technology) to ensure they meet QCC standards and client specifications.
Ready for Re-Use
Certified, high-quality recycled materials are stockpiled, ready for diverse construction applications and contributing to UAE’s sustainable development.
