Waste Reduction Report (WRR) as per Tadweer, CWM

A Waste Reduction Report (WRR) is a regulatory requirement under Tadweer – the Center of Waste Management (CWM), Abu Dhabi. It documents the types, quantities, and management methods of waste generated by an entity, while demonstrating compliance with waste reduction targets. The WRR provides transparency on waste generation trends and highlights areas where reduction strategies can be implemented. At GESC, we prepare WRRs using accurate data collection, analysis, and verification to ensure approval from Tadweer, while helping organizations improve efficiency, reduce costs, and align with Abu Dhabi’s sustainability goals.

Waste Reduction Action Plan (WRAP) as per Tadweer, CWM

A Waste Reduction Action Plan (WRAP) is a forward-looking strategy that defines specific initiatives to minimize waste generation, enhance recycling, and promote sustainable resource use. Developed in line with Tadweer’s requirements, a WRAP outlines practical measures, roles, and timelines that organizations must implement to achieve measurable reductions in their waste footprint. GESC designs tailored WRAPs that integrate operational realities with best practices, ensuring not only regulatory compliance but also long-term improvements in sustainability performance and corporate responsibility.

Construction and Demolition Waste Management Plan (CDWMP)

A Construction and Demolition Waste Management Plan (CDWMP) is a mandatory requirement for construction projects in Abu Dhabi to ensure environmentally responsible handling of debris, excavated materials, and demolition waste. The plan details waste segregation, recycling, disposal methods, and compliance with Tadweer’s approved facilities. Properly implemented CDWMPs minimize landfill use, reduce environmental impacts, and support circular economy objectives. At GESC, we prepare comprehensive CDWMPs that meet EAD and Tadweer guidelines, enabling contractors and developers to secure permits and execute projects with minimal environmental footprint.

Waste Audit

A Waste Audit is a systematic assessment of the quantity, type, and sources of waste generated by an organization, facility, or project. It identifies inefficiencies in resource use, evaluates compliance with regulatory standards, and highlights opportunities for waste reduction and recycling. Waste Audits form the foundation for effective Waste Reduction Reports (WRR) and Action Plans (WRAP). GESC conducts detailed waste audits using field inspections, data analysis, and stakeholder engagement, providing clients with actionable insights that improve operational performance, reduce costs, and support environmental commitments.

Operational Waste Management Plan (OWMP)

An Operational Waste Management Plan (OWMP) is developed for facilities once they enter their operational phase, ensuring that waste streams generated during day-to-day activities are managed in compliance with Tadweer and EAD requirements. The OWMP outlines procedures for waste segregation, storage, recycling, transportation, and disposal, while defining responsibilities and monitoring mechanisms. GESC prepares OWMPs that are practical, site-specific, and aligned with regulatory standards, enabling clients to maintain approvals, reduce environmental risks, and demonstrate corporate sustainability.

Hazardous / Non-Hazardous Waste Collection & Management

The safe handling, collection, and management of hazardous and non-hazardous waste is critical for protecting public health, the environment, and regulatory compliance. Hazardous waste, including chemicals, oils, and industrial by-products, requires specialized containment, transport, and treatment methods approved by Tadweer. Non-hazardous waste, such as recyclables and general solid waste, must also be managed in line with best practices to support Abu Dhabi’s zero-waste and circular economy strategies. GESC provides consultancy support to develop waste management solutions that cover classification, storage, manifesting, and vendor coordination, ensuring clients meet legal obligations while minimizing environmental impact
