The new JV, 51% owned by Kezad, aims to serve businesses operating across its industrial and logistics zones, through an integrated waste management platform. 

It will also support the development of a Circular Environmental Facility at Kezad Al Ma’mourah, designed to process solid and liquid waste, and recover materials for reuse across industrial value chains, said the statement.

The partnership will provide a comprehensive range of services, from waste collection and street cleaning to waste treatment and recycling, supporting customers with reliable, compliant and sustainable solutions that contribute to circularity, it added.

"Partnering with Beeah enhances the value of Kezad as a destination for responsible industrial growth and supports our customers in meeting their environmental commitments," he noted.

According to Kezad, the joint venture will roll out its services in phases. Starting with waste collection, tracking, sorting and street cleaning. 

It will then introduce recycling, composting and industrial waste recovery solutions. In the future, the Joint Venture will also explore more advanced waste management services, enabling zero-waste to landfill and support the wider circular economy.

Khaled Al Huraimel, Group CEO and Vice Chairman of Beeah, said: "This collaboration brings together complementary strengths to deliver practical circular economy solutions at scale. Through this joint venture, we will support businesses across Kezad with proven waste management expertise that reduces landfill reliance and improves overall environmental impact."
