Can Collection Day

As we step into 2026, EEG invites everyone in the UAE to continue pushing the boundaries of sustainability, working together to achieve even greater milestones. It is time to transform the extensive discussions, sharing of knowledge and best practices that took place in 2025 into impactful actions that make a tangible difference in our communities and economies as well as protects the environment.

We achieved in 2025 remarkable success, particularly in the “Can Collection Campaign” where we exceeded our goal of collecting 35,000 kg of aluminium cans by gathering over 38,596 kg. We aim to raise the bar even higher in 2026, setting our sights on collecting 42,500 kg and more. It is with great pleasure that we invite you and your organisation to participate in the 30th Cycle of the Can Collection Campaign.

Since its inception in 1997, EEG has collected over 478,421 kg of aluminium cans, preventing 7,181 MT of CO2 emissions, saving 108,882 Million BTU of energy, and reducing landfill waste by 11,613 m³. These remarkable achievements demonstrate the power of collective action and the significant contribution the UAE community has made toward sustainability.

We firmly believe that with continued collaboration and environmental commitment, we can drive further positive change and build a safer, greener world for ourselves and the future generations. We are excited to welcome your organisation to the Can Collection Day on Saturday, 14th February 2026. Begin collecting aluminium cans now and bring them to your designated collection point on the event day.
