Overview
Overview
Saudi Arabia has set ambitious sustainability targets as part of the Kingdom's Vision 2030, aiming to significantly increase the country's resource conservation and circular economy efforts. The Kingdom is aiming to develop a world-class, robust, and financially sustainable waste management ecosystem able to handle the sizeable, fast-growing, and diverse volumes of waste with the clear ambition to minimize landfilling and maximize recycling.
With the sector having set ambitious targets, many opportunities are emerging for domestic and foreign investors alike to develop waste (pre-)collection, treatment, recycling and disposal services and infrastructure.
