An electronic platform has been launched in Dubai for exchanging recyclable materials.
It will help individuals, companies and government entities easily exchange reusable items.
Through the portal, those with recyclables can connect with firms that need materials to manufacture new products.
The platform can be accessed through the Dubai Municipality's website.
The initiative is aimed at reducing the quantities of waste produced and raising the percentage of waste diverted from landfills.
"The establishment of such an electronic platform for the exchange of recyclable or reusable materials is the first of its kind in the region," said Abdulmajeed Saifaie, Director of Dubai Municipality's Waste Management Department.
"It has several features, such as the list of recyclable and useable materials, the possibility to follow up on the status of materials listed by site users, and browsing the materials offered by all groups."
