The Ministry of Municipality, in collaboration with Al Wakrah Municipality and LuLu Hypermarket, recently organized a waste sorting program aimed at promoting environmental sustainability and reducing plastic waste. This initiative was part of an awareness campaign in line with World Plastic Bags Free Day, held at LuLu Hypermarket Ezdan Oasis on July 1 and 2. The program focused on educating the public about the importance of reducing plastic bag usage and properly sorting waste, especially plastics, into recycling containers. LuLu Hypermarket distributed reusable bags and gifts to participants, showcasing their commitment to sustainable practices. The event saw municipality officials engaging with customers, providing valuable information on waste sorting and the proper disposal of plastics, as part of the Ministry’s efforts to reduce plastic use and raise environmental awareness within the community.
The Ministry of Municipality recently launched the second phase of the waste sorting at source program, which involves providing specialized containers to households for the separate disposal of recyclable materials and organic waste. Blue containers are designated for recyclable materials such as glass, plastic, papers, and metals, while grey containers are for food waste and cleaning materials. This initiative underscores the Ministry’s commitment to promoting sustainability and enhancing waste management practices across Qatar. By equipping households with the necessary tools and knowledge, the Ministry aims to significantly reduce the environmental impact of waste and encourage responsible consumption patterns among residents.

From using biodegradable bags to promoting reusable products, LuLu Hypermarket has shown a strong dedication to supporting environmental causes and encouraging eco-friendly practices among its customers. The collaboration between LuLu Hypermarket and the Ministry of Municipality demonstrates a shared commitment to promoting sustainability and fostering a cleaner, greener environment in Qatar. Together, they are taking important steps towards creating a more sustainable future for the community.
