Why the UAE
Because few countries have committed to sustainability the way the UAE has, and Emirates Biotech is built to serve that commitment.
A national vision
The UAE was the first country in the Middle East and North Africa to commit to net zero, through the UAE Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative.
Sustainability sits at the heart of the national agenda, from the We the UAE 2031 vision to hosting COP28 in Dubai. Building the region’s PLA production capacity here is a direct contribution to that vision.
A circular economy by design
The UAE Circular Economy Policy 2021-2031 sets the framework for turning waste into value, and national regulation is progressively phasing out single-use conventional plastics.
As the country makes this transition, demand for recyclable and compostable materials keeps growing, and PLA is one of the few materials that answers both.
An industrial strategy that builds at home
Through Operation 300bn and the Make it in the Emirates programme, the UAE is expanding advanced manufacturing on its own soil.
A world-scale PLA facility adds a new industry to that base: local production, local jobs, and local value from a next-generation material.
A gateway to the world
Positioned between Europe, Asia, and Africa, the UAE offers world-class logistics and trade infrastructure.
What is made here can reach customers anywhere.
