Abu Dhabi-based district cooling company Tabreed, has partnered with Sparklo, a UAE-based cleantech company building smart recycling infrastructure, to install 16 reverse vending machines (RVMs) across the UAE
The RVMs, known as Sparklomats, will enable residents to recycle plastic bottles and aluminium cans in exchange for digital rewards in the Sparklo app, redeemable for discounts at places such as grocery stores and taxi rides. One Sparklomat has been installed at Tabreed’s headquarters, while 15 others will be placed in high-traffic locations including Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Yas Water World and malls in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
It is estimated that the partnership will collect more than four million bottles and cans annually, averaging 11,600 containers per day across the network. This is expected to prevent approximately 637,400 kilograms of CO₂ emissions each year, directly contributing to the UAE Net Zero 2050 and Circular Economy Policy goals, while encouraging sustainable behaviour through positive motivation. The initiative reinforces Tabreed’s 2024 sustainability commitments, including its Net Zero 2050 target, energy-efficiency retrofits, and supply chain decarbonisation principles.
Khalid Al Marzooqi, chief executive offficer of Tabreed, said, “At Tabreed, we believe that innovation and collaboration are essential to achieving the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 vision. This project with Sparklo reflects our commitment to decarbonisation through innovation and strategic partnerships, allowing us to make the places we cool more sustainable overall. By introducing smart recycling solutions in communities across Abu Dhabi, we are extending our sustainability efforts beyond our operations – creating real opportunities for residents and visitors to take part in climate action.”
Maxim Kaplevich, founder of Sparklo, added, “Sustainability works best when it’s built into people’s daily lives. Together, we’re addressing two sides of the same challenge: making the places where people live, shop, and spend time both more energy-efficient and more circular. This partnership shows how shared infrastructure and positive incentives can turn sustainability into everyday action, achieving real progress.”

Andy Holt, business development manager, AkzoNobel – Middle East discusses the role of passive fire protection in future-proofing high risk assets
In today’s energy landscape, the concept of ‘future-proofing’ has become central to how we think about building and maintaining high-value assets.
As industries transition toward lower-carbon operations and come up against tightening regulatory expectations, the ability to ensure resilience, reliability and long-term value has never been more critical.
For operators in complex, high-risk environments such as oil and gas, this isn’t just about meeting today’s safety standards – it’s about safeguarding tomorrow’s productivity. And one area that supports how we approach asset resilience is passive fire protection (PFP).
Traditionally, PFP has been viewed as a compliance-driven necessity – a layer of defence designed to maintain structural integrity during a fire. That purpose remains important, but its strategic value has evolved.
Increasingly, operators are recognising that effective PFP isn’t simply about meeting codes, it’s about enabling operational efficiency, reducing total cost of ownership, and supporting sustainability objectives.
When specified and applied strategically, PFP can accelerate project delivery and improve the longevity of critical assets. By optimising protection early in the design and fabrication stages, operators can reduce rework, streamline installation, and extend maintenance cycles, all of which contribute to measurable savings and reduced environmental impact.
In an industry where project schedules are under constant pressure and margins continue to tighten, this shift in mindset matters. Forward-thinking operators are viewing fire protection as an investment in resilience, not an expense. The question is no longer ‘what does it cost?’ but ‘what value does it add over the lifetime of the asset?’
At International, we’ve seen this evolution play out first-hand through our work in passive fire protection. The Chartek range, developed over more than five decades, has become synonymous with durability and performance in the world’s toughest operating environments.
Our latest innovation – Chartek 2218E, introduced at ADIPEC 2025 – represents the next step in that journey. It’s designed specifically for shop-applied steel and achieves a two-hour UL1709 rating in a single-coat application over Charlok mesh. The result is up to 50% fewer application hours and up to 25% less material use, enabling savings in shop-applied costs without compromising on safety or performance.
But what’s most exciting is not just what this means for productivity – it’s what it means for sustainability. Fewer application hours and less material translate to reduced energy use and waste. Over the full project lifecycle, those incremental efficiencies add up to a meaningful reduction in environmental footprint.
That combination of performance, efficiency and sustainability is where PFP’s future lies. As energy systems evolve and asset specifications become more complex, the ability to tailor protection to meet precise operational and environmental needs will define the leaders in this space.
Asset operators should opt for suppliers that continue that long-term strategy with their approach to partnership. This is why at International, we aren't just suppliers, we work with customers over decades, advising and supporting on projects as part of an indefinite future-proofing fire protection strategy.
Our global network of technical specialists works with customers from design through to maintenance and beyond, ensuring every system delivers consistent performance and compliance across regions and project types.
By combining deep technical expertise with local insight, our teams help operators tailor passive fire protection solutions to their unique asset and environmental demands. This collaboration extends beyond product selection – it's also about optimising application efficiency, reducing waste and enhancing long-term durability.
Through this partnership approach, operators gain the confidence to make informed choices that balance productivity, safety and sustainability from the outset, as part of their strategic long term planning.
Through continued innovation and collaboration, the industry must strive to continue to help operators not only protect their assets, but also strengthen the resilience of their entire business. In an era of transition, future-proofing means building smarter, safer and more sustainably, and passive fire protection is proving to be a powerful way to achieve exactly that.

The UK’s Fire Protection Association (FPA) has received UKAS accreditation to test to the new watermist standard
The new watermist standard: BS EN 14972-17:2025 – Fixed firefighting systems. Water mist systems – Test protocol for residential occupancies for automatic nozzle systems, replaces BS 8458 that was withdrawn in July 2025.
Isabel Elswood, suppression manager at the FPA, said, “The purpose of BS 14972 has been to align with the European EN 14972 fire testing series to allow for harmonisation of watermist testing standards across a multinational audience in line with the UK’s duties as part of the CENLEC agreement.”
The European EN 14972 series contains 17 parts, with Part 1 covering the design, installation, inspection, and maintenance of watermist systems. Parts 2-17 then cover specific fire test protocols for different risk/building types (e.g. retail shops, offices, and garages).
The latest release covered by the new British Standard, Part 17, focuses on residential occupancies, including family dwelling/house, bed and breakfast, apartment buildings, blocks of flats, care homes, small hotels or hostels, and residential areas in hotel bedrooms and guest corridors.
Testing implications
In Wales, where automatic fire suppression systems are legally required in new residential buildings, government guidance currently specifies that watermist fire performance tests should be carried out by a UKAS-accredited laboratory (or equivalent) and references BS 8458 as an acceptable standard. This is expected to be updated to BS EN 14972-17.
While not mandated for the rest of the UK, third party testing conducted by a UKAS-accredited laboratory evidences the effectiveness of a system via an industry approved method.
Therefore, whilst there is no legislative requirement for systems that have previously been successfully tested to BS 8458 to now be tested to BS EN 14972, designers and installers may wish to do so to evidence that their system has been tested against the latest fire performance test standard, providing assurance of its effectiveness in a fire scenario, the FPA advises.
Speaking about the accreditation, Elswood said, “It is a huge achievement for the FPA to be accredited in such a timely manner and places us at the cutting edge of the industry.
“It took a lot of hard work from the team involved to get to this place, from operations to compliance, and the FPA is proud to be the first in the UK to achieve accreditation and become leaders in the residential watermist testing market.”

FireBull AB, a next-generation fluorine-free firefighting foam developed by Enforcer One and distributed in the region by Frontline Innovations, has become the first and only foam globally to achieve certification to the NTA 8133 lithium-ion battery fire standard.
Independent testing confirmed that FireBull AB can extinguish lithium-ion battery fires in just 16 to 20 seconds, with no reignition for over 20 minutes, representing a significant advancement in safety for industries including electric vehicle infrastructure, battery logistics, energy storage, warehousing, and marine operations.
“This certification confirms that lithium-ion battery fires can now be suppressed safely, rapidly, and without environmental compromise and sets a new global standard for safety, compliance, and environmental responsibility,” said John Kneller, Director of Frontline Innovations.
FireBull AB is the only fluorine-free foam approved by the UAE Civil Defence and is fully PFAS/PFOS-free, removing harmful fluorinated chemicals associated with global environmental litigation and ESG liabilities. It is effective at just 0.25% concentration and is rated for Class A, B, D, and K fires, offering broad applicability across sectors.
Key features
The foam is compatible with all existing fire suppression systems, allowing immediate integration without upgrades or replacements. For rapid deployment, FireBull AB can be used with Enforcer One’s portable CAFS units, including the Enforcer Air 3, a compact system that can be worn or carried by hand. For larger operations, the Enforcer 10, 30, and 60 units can be mounted on vehicles, trucks, or ATVs, making the foam ideal for remote sites, forecourts, and dynamic industrial environments where every second counts.
With lithium-ion battery fires becoming increasingly frequent and severe, the certification has direct implications for insurance risk, regulatory compliance, and legal liability. Using uncertified or outdated suppression systems in battery-rich environments could jeopardize insurance claims and expose organisations to reputational or legal risks.
Frontline Innovations urges all operators handling or storing lithium-ion batteries to review their fire suppression infrastructure in light of this new global benchmark. A regional demonstration of FireBull AB in action will soon provide organisations the chance to see certified lithium-ion fire suppression first-hand and evaluate its operational advantages.

Safety culture is becoming a key strategic advantage for Middle East business leaders, according to the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH). In a region known for ambitious giga projects, safety goes beyond accident prevention; it is now linked to resilience, performance, and competitive positioning.
IOSH is urging organisations across the Middle East to treat safety as a strategic asset rather than a back-office requirement. Its new white paper, Safety culture comes of age: empowering people, strengthening resilience, elevating performance, sets out a framework for embedding safety, health, and wellbeing at the core of corporate strategy. Central to this approach is the Business Assurance Certification (BAC), which helps companies assess and mature their safety culture while aligning it with governance, ESG goals, and workforce wellbeing.
Angela Gray, IOSH Technical Lead, said, “Safety culture is now a driver of performance and resilience. Our model empowers leaders to align safety with business goals, build resilience, and demonstrate their commitment to their people and ESG excellence.”
The BAC framework focuses on governance and leadership, systems and processes, and people and culture. Organisations can perform self-assessments using the Business Assurance Tool and pursue independent certification ranging from bronze to platinum, providing external validation that increasingly influences tenders and investor confidence in a market where transparency and ESG reporting are critical.
Global trials with 120 organisations, including major construction firms, revealed that most are in the early stages of safety culture maturity. However, the BAC framework immediately fostered cross-functional discussions and renewed investment in workforce wellbeing. IOSH stresses that this approach goes beyond compliance: integrating safety into strategy enhances resilience, encourages innovation, and signals serious ESG commitment.
By adopting this framework, Middle East leaders can boost investor confidence through measurable human capital metrics, strengthen client and supply chain partnerships, enhance productivity and retention by fostering psychological safety, and drive financial returns by reducing incidents, lowering insurance costs, and limiting turnover.

The hours spent training production and maintenance teams can lead to variable results. They might just tick the boxes without providing a return on investment, or they can enhance safety, foster team building, and develop a deep understanding of the equipment that boosts efficiency and uptime.
In-class sessions should transition to on-site, hands-on training, supported by online content for access afterward. Training should be robust and encourage problem-solving using modern methods and standards. Companies that prioritise safety experience fewer safety incidents, less regulatory oversight, and higher productivity and profits.
When it comes to conveyor belts, a one-day training session can serve as a refresher, but it is recommended that staff complete a comprehensive course lasting at least two days. Conveyors are as complex as they are crucial to operations, and training should include a mix of classroom and hands-on learning, followed by a pilot programme to encourage team building and gauge results.
The problem
A commitment to safety starts at the top with corporate culture. A production-at-all-costs approach means safety concerns are always present. Bad habits and injuries often stem from three things: lack of funding, an understaffed maintenance department, and a run-till-broke mentality. Good safety habits require training and the patience for extra steps. Cutting corners and calling it efficiency can lead to serious injuries, low morale, downtime, and lost production.
Basic training
Everyone who operates, cleans, or maintains conveyors should be trained on the hazards of bulk material handling. Basic training helps staff identify problems and resolve them safely. Appropriate safety training emphasises a basic understanding of conveyor design and operation, as well as the Lock-Out Tag-Out (LOTO) procedures required for working on and around the system.
Conveyor maintenance can be dangerous even when LOTO and other safety measures are in place.
Advanced training
Over time, production demands cause conveyor belt speed and capacity to reach beyond the original design specifications. Systems are incrementally modified to minimise problems associated with the demands. Advanced conveyor design training for engineers and mechanics is critical for diagnosis and the development of updated solutions. No two conveyors are identical, so adhering to standard design methods allows a technician to make adjustments that another can recognise and understand.
Day one
A walk down problem belts before the training helps the instructor focus on site-specific problems and management expectations. The first day starts in the classroom with the class reviewing typical problems, discussing challenges, and the best practices of safely addressing them. The class identifies a couple of problem conveyors and splits into small teams. Each team examines the same problem and brainstorms solutions.
Advanced conveyor training highlights the relationship between equipment, efficiency, and safety.
Day two
The class reviews and discusses root causes, solutions, and procedures. Once the teams reach an agreement, they prepare a short presentation using the knowledge they gained. The presentations may also include an estimate of the cost of the proposed solutions. Management is then invited to listen to the team presentations, ask questions, and show a commitment to safety and communication. By making the presentations, trainees display knowledge and support for the solutions. It is critical at this step that the managers who attend the presentations have the authority to act on the proposals and are willing to commit to a pilot programme to demonstrate that theoretical results can be translated into reality.
A conveyor system with safety engineered into the design maximises efficiency and productivity.
Pilot programme
One or more conveyors from the presentation are selected for a pilot programme. Usually, the results of the pilot programme are immediately noticeable. A lapse in maintenance affects the pilot results, so extend the test period to the next scheduled shutdown, with periodic inspections and adjustments made by the equipment manufacturer.
Third-party inspection ensures the integrity of pilot results.
It is incumbent upon management to take safety and maintenance training as seriously as the staff, listen to employees' concerns, and fix the problem correctly the first time. As research has shown, companies that prioritise safety, training, and updating equipment enjoy fewer safety incidents, less regulatory oversight, higher productivity, and greater long-term profits.
The online Martin Foundations Learning Center draws on the collective knowledge and expertise gathered over more than 80 years of solving bulk-handling challenges. Aimed at apprentice technicians and experienced engineers alike, the non-commercial information is offered at no charge and is accessible by computer, tablet, or smartphone. An extension of the Foundations training curriculum, the Learning Center uses a mix of text, photos, videos, webinars, online events, and live experts available to answer questions.
