Recycling with Simply Bottles

Plastic pollution is a key concern for communities, businesses and governments. Through our Simply Bottles initiative we work to increase recycling rates of PET plastic and promote recycling and environmental awareness through workshops, events and activities. The plastic we collect is recycled at or factory in Abu Dhabi.

10 million water bottles are produced every day in the UAE, yet recycling rates remain very low. Your organisation, event or school can help change this by working with Simply Bottles to:

  • raise awareness for environmental sustainability and encourage behavioural change
  • reduce plastic pollution
  • help drive a circular economy
  • meet your organisational CSR goals, and
  • support UAE goals to divert 75% of all waste from landfill

Close the Loop by ordering products made from plastic bottles you have helped to collect!

What We Recycle
  • Look for the recycle symbol with PET or 1 on packaging, commonly water bottles, to confirm the plastic packaging can be recycled with Simply Bottles.
  • Remove straws and empty liquid or food before placing in the recycling bin.
  • Plastic collected through Simply Bottles is recycled by DGrade into Greenspun™ yarn for textile production.
