Celebrate Global Recycling day everyday with the UAE’s app -RECAPP

Industrial

Veolia has announced the launch of RECAPP in Abu Dhabi, a free digital service to arrange the collection of recyclables at your doorstep

RECAPP is a recycling app designed by Veolia for on-demand, door-to-door collection service of your recyclables. To incentivize responsible behaviour, each time a user recycles, points will be rewarded.

RECAPP enables a free of charge collection service of recyclable items generated by individuals such as plastic bottles and aluminium cans, with just a click of a button hence escaping from the hassle of stepping out. Since its soft launch in November 2020, RECAPP has gathered a community of 1000 eco-warriors in Abu Dhabi, and more than 2.5 tonnes of plastics and cans are being recycled.

Jerome Viricel, general manager Recapp, said, “RECAPP provides people with the tool they need  at their fingertips  to take charge of their green journey and make sure that their recyclables are properly recycled for the benefit of their community. By using RECAPP, everybody will be putting their neighborhood on the path to becoming a more sustainable, faster-growing community. Recapp is a major step for communities in the development of a Circular economy in the UAE. We truly appreciate our early adopters for spreading the RECAPP reflex and contributing to build an Eco-conscious community in Abu Dhabi.”
