SHARJAH — Work on the world’s largest landfill remediation project in Sharjah is almost 75 per cent complete, it was announced by Emirates Environment Technology (EET) during a visit by Dr Josef Proell, Austria’s minister of environment and agriculture, to the site.
Undertaken by EET, the project involves excavation of approximately 7 million cubic metres of landfill waste, and is being carried out in cooperation with Sharjah Municipality.
Speaking to Khaleej Times, Tania Afram, EET’s chief commercial officer, said the remediation project work was due for completion by December, 2008.
