After the significant interaction of public bus users with the incentive-based plastic bottle recycling initiative that was launched in 2022, Abu Dhabi Mobility (AD Mobility) has installed two new recycling units in Al Ain and Al Dhafra, allowing individuals to deposit plastic bottles and earn points redeemable for public bus fares.

This move is part of the ongoing initiative, carried out in collaboration with the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi and Cycled Technologies, a company specialising in manufacturing and deploying smart recycling stations and reverse vending machines (RVM) in the UAE. Individuals can now deposit empty plastic bottles into cycled devices installed in the main bus stations and earn points for each bottle deposited.
