Abu Dhabi,July 2025: Umm Al Emarat Park, in partnership with Tadweer Group has launched the six-month “Cap Your Way to Sustainability” campaign, encouraging community members to donate used bottle caps. This initiative highlights how small, consistent actions can lead to meaningful environmental change.
The Park will serve as a central drop-off point for the campaign, along with multiple other locations including Umm Al Emarat Park main gate, Totó restaurant Saadiyat Island, Al Raha Beach C2 Tower – managed by AVISON YOUNG PROPERTY SERVICES MENA and three mobile collection boxes managed by Tadweer Group across schools and community events in Abu Dhabi and the Western Region. Visitors are encouraged to donate their collected bottle caps throughout the campaign period.
These contributions will form part of a wider community activation to be revealed towards the end of the year, one that celebrates the efforts of every participant while capturing the measurable impact of this campaign.
Earlier this year, Umm Al Emarat Park and Tadweer Group signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to promote environmental awareness and empower the Abu Dhabi community to adopt sustainable practices through joint educational initiatives and enhanced waste management services.
Additionally, Umm Al Emarat Park hosted 2 of the 25 Reverse Vending Machines (RVMs) that Tadweer Group has installed across Abu Dhabi. These machines allow the public to deposit empty plastic bottles and aluminum cans in exchange for rewards through the Tadweer Rewards app.
Furthermore, the park also hosts regular workshops to promote sustainable practices in partnership with Tadweer Group. Most recently, it hosted “Naq’a” event, which engaged visitors of all ages through interactive recycling activities, insightful workshops, and creative games and surprises.
About Umm Al Emarat Park:
Umm Al Emarat Park, the largest green space in central Abu Dhabi, is a vibrant, family-friendly community hub. Originally opened in 1982 as Mushrif Central Park for ladies and children, it was renamed to honor the legacy of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak Chairwoman of the General Women’s Union (GWU), President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, and Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation (FDF). The park underwent a comprehensive 24-month redesign and reopened in 2015.
Today, the park is a prime destination to reconnect with nature, blending cultural heritage with sustainability. Designed to honor Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s vision, it promotes an active lifestyle, supports a healthy society, and celebrates local culture and traditions. Umm Al Emarat Park is guided by a vision that invites visitors to explore, enrich their lives, get educated and enjoy meaningful experiences. With eco-friendly initiatives and diverse attractions, the park encourages wellness, community engagement, and a strong connection to nature.
