Dhofar Global, a leading B2B supplier of essential products in the Middle East, and Palmade, a UAE-based company that offers locally manufactured biodegradable products, have announced a strategic partnership. This partnership aims to deliver on the sustainability promises of both companies and advance the pressing green agenda by helping businesses throughout the GCC replace single-use plastic products with eco-friendly, high-quality alternatives.

Using its extensive customer base, in-depth market expertise, and wide geographic reach throughout the GCC, Dhofar Global will further propel sales across the region and introduce Palmade's biodegradable solutions to its wide range of clients in HORECA, facility management, and corporate sectors.

Faleh Al Abri, CEO of Dhofar Global, stated, "Our collaboration with Palmade is a testament to our commitment to providing sustainable solutions to our clients and helping them reduce their environmental impact. We are particularly pleased with this partnership as it aligns with our strategic goal of supporting local manufacturers and helping them grow by providing access to our extensive client base throughout the GCC. The shift to sustainability is essential for preserving our planet, and we aim to accelerate this transition by guiding our clients on this journey and promoting its adoption across various operational domains.

The sustainability goals of both Dhofar Global and Palmade and their announced partnership align closely with UAE's resolution aimed at banning single-use plastic items starting January 1, 2025. These items include plastic stirrers, table covers, cups, Styrofoam food containers, plastic straws, and plastic cotton swabs.

Lamis Al Hashimi at Palmade said, "Dhofar Global's wealth of expertise and strong market presence position them as an ideal partner as we strive to broaden our horizons and introduce eco-friendly products to untapped businesses and markets. We are thrilled that this collaboration will enable us to connect with clients in the UAE, Oman, Qatar and beyond, advancing our core objective of expanding and fortifying our market footprint, ultimately shaping a more sustainable future for the region. Our commitment to sustainability remains unwavering, and we are delighted to join forces with Dhofar Global in championing this cause."

Recognizing the challenges the industry faces in adopting sustainable practices, Dhofar Global is dedicated to speeding up this transition by showcasing the real benefits of sustainable business operations to customers and end users. With a solid go-to-market strategy, the company is well-equipped to ensure the successful collaboration with Palmade, supporting businesses of all sizes across the region to embrace environmentally friendly practices.
