Oman: Oman's solid waste management entity, Be'ah, has reported progress in its strategy to transition solid waste from landfill disposal to refuse derived fuel (RDF), according to Oman Daily Observer.

In 2023, Be'ah launched initiatives focusing on transforming waste into RDF, electrical and electronic waste and green waste. The company has signed an agreement with Oman Cement Company to provide tyre derived fuel for its energy needs, eventually expanding to include RDF. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed with Oman Cement during Oman Sustainability Week to explore the utilisation of RDF as an additional alternative fuel source, according to the company’s 2023 sustainability report.

Chair of Be’ah, Ahmed al Subhi, said "We take pride in our strategic resource management initiatives, having set ambitious targets for transitioning to a circular economy, including achieving 60% waste utilisation by 2025 and 80% by 2030.”

Oman: Oman Cement has signed a memorandum of understanding with Oman Environmental Services Holding Company (Be'ah), a government-owned solid waste management company. The deal covers using tyres from Be’ah’s waste collection sites to use in the cement producer’s kilns, according to the Oman Daily Observer. Around 45,000t of ‘end-of-life’ tyres are collected in the country each year, particularly in Dhofar Governorate. In 2017 Be’ah invited proposals to recycle and/or dispose of the excess tyres.
