The chosen landfill site in Sharjah is geographically beneficial as the water table is very deep, according to the boss of Sharjah Environment Company.

Between and above the water table is a thick layer of clay and another layer of environmental protection, engineered by Bee’ah ‘’reduces the risk of impacting ground water’’, the company's Managing Director Samer Kamal told Arabian Business TV in an interview.

Sharjah will soon be home to the Gulf’s first road made from recycled rubber. Kamal explains how recycled rubber tyres can be applied for greater good in an exclusive interview with Mona Ibellini:

The UAE happens to be the largest per capita consumer of beverage containers such as aluminum cans and plastic bottles and from an economic point of view, the most valuable materials as they are such precious commodities.

I think it is wonderful that we have Bee'ah as Sharjah is the pioneer in the Gulf for doing this great thanks to His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan for supporting this very important project. This is the future and our health.
