Education: We have designed an educational project based on the “Three R’s” principles to promote and teach children about recycling and waste minimization to share in diverting higher volumes of material from the waste scream, taking into account environmental quality and sustainability for future generations.
1. Reduce the amount of things you throwaway.
2. Reuse the things you have until they can no longer be reused.
3. Recycle once you have completed the first two R’s.
● WHY DO WE RECYCLE?
- Protection of people and environment together with economic development (Sustainable Development).
- Designing and manipulating operations based upon the efficient use of energy, resources and materials.
- Refraining from making false or misleading statements about recycling products and encouraging their use.
- Promoting the use of recycled materials with high post-consumer content.
The MIDDLE EAST WASTE MANAGEMENT LTD. programs seek to promote the interest of Recycling Plastics, Aluminum and Paper.
● WHY PLASTICS?
Because plastics are modern, synthetic material and still a relatively new and developing field of recycling. They are oil and gas based, but consumes less than 3% of our oil and gas reserves. The superior properties of plastic such as hygienic barrier properties, lightweight, and durability contribute significantly to our health and quality of life.
As plastics continue to demonstrate that they are safe and reliable alternative to traditional materials (glass, metals) new applications will emerge and contribute to the growth and prosperity of this dynamic industry.
