ISWA is delighted to welcome Polaris as our latest Silver Member.
Polaris is a global sustainability consultancy headquartered in Jordan, with offices in the UAE and Canada and operating across many countries, with a team of certified experts delivering integrated solutions across the built environment. With over 500,000 m² of sustainable buildings delivered and expertise spanning more than ten green building and reporting systems – including LEED, WELL, Mostadam, EDGE, Estidama, and Envision – Polaris has built a track record of turning sustainability commitments into measurable outcomes for clients across diverse sectors and geographies.
Waste management has always been woven into Polaris’s work. Whether developing circular waste strategies as part of green building certifications or advising on resource recovery within broader sustainability frameworks, waste was never an afterthought; it was an integral thread in every project. Recognising the growing demand for dedicated waste expertise and the critical role waste plays in the transition to a circular economy, Polaris made the strategic decision to elevate waste management from an embedded capability into a standalone service. This move reflects both the maturity of the practice within the firm and a deeper commitment to addressing one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time.
As part of this expansion, Polaris has joined the International Solid Waste Association (ISWA) as a Silver Member, connecting with a global network of over 1,200 members across 90+ countries dedicated to advancing professional and sustainable waste management worldwide.
“Waste management has been part of our DNA since day one – embedded in every sustainability strategy we’ve delivered. But as the urgency around circular economy and resource recovery continues to grow, we knew it was time to give this work the dedicated focus it deserves. Joining ISWA as a Silver Member is a natural next step for us. It connects Polaris to the world’s leading network of waste professionals and reinforces our commitment to delivering solutions that go beyond compliance, solutions that truly close the loop.”
