A Taiwanese architect who co-founded the business Miniwiz is looking to turn the UAE’s rubbish into riches with the opening of an upcycling plant in Abu Dhabi.
Arthur Huang, who is also Miniwiz CEO, promotes the concept of a circular economy, upcycling consumer and industrial waste into usable products.
The circular economy involves breaking from the age-old model of “take, make, throw away” and redesigning products to be more durable, reusable, repairable and recyclable.
According to the Circularity Gap report in 2021, only 8.6 percent of the global economy is circular.
