Sometimes, it is better not to waste than try to recycle it. We've been conditioned to think that recycling is the ultimate solution, yet waste reduction is the key. Reduction is proactive. It's about making conscious decisions on what we consume and how much we consume. It's about thinking twice before buying things we don't need and reusing what we already have. Recent statistics state that in the UAE, 38% of prepared food is wasted, amounting to 6 billion in yearly wastage. Even a 50% reduction in wastage will ensure that a whopping 3 Billion is saved annually. #zeroWasteDay #proactive_choice

Dubai Municipality has launched a sustainable waste management project in Hatta to divert waste from landfills. The project, titled 'Outsourcing Waste Collection, Transportation, and Recycling Services', has transformed the Hatta landfill into an advanced facility spanning more than 60,000 square metres. The facility comprises an administrative office and a waste disposal zone. On average, around 20 tonnes of municipal solid waste and 27 tonnes of agricultural waste are generated daily in Hatta. This project is expected to benefit a total of 1,147 homes. The municipality has distributed over 2,500 new waste storage and collection containers, each differentiated by its colour, featuring illustrations and instructions to help with waste segregation. Let's raise public awareness about the significance of correctly segregating waste at source. #Sustainability #WasteManagement #DubaiMunicipality #dubai #uae #sustainability

🌍 Ever wondered if the waste we discard today could become tomorrow’s treasure? Last month, I toured a recycling plant in Dubai, an experience that shook my perspective. Watching mountains of plastic and metal waste transformed into raw materials, I realized: the issue isn’t waste but how we handle it. I met a local entrepreneur who turns old tires into playground surfaces. His words stayed with me: “What was once waste is now a source of joy for children.” This made me think, if he can find joy and opportunity in waste, what can we do differently? 🔄 Circular Economy in UAE: The UAE’s journey towards a circular economy is ambitious. Policies now target industries like food, transportation, and infrastructure to cut waste and drive sustainable consumption. But the key to success lies in collaboration between government, businesses, and individuals. 💡 What You Can Do Today: Next time you’re about to toss something, ask yourself: Can this be reused, repaired, or repurposed? 💬 What’s Your Take? I would like to hear how your organization is embracing circular practices. #CircularEconomy #ZeroWasteUAE #SustainabilityMatters #SmallActionsBigImpact #sustainability
