Kuwait Embraces Recycling: Al-Arfaj Group Beatouna Recycling Plant in Amghara

In its effort to further expand in the environmental sector Al-Arfaj Group extended its family of companies by acquiring a municipal solid & waste recycling plant approximately 100,000 square meters of land establishing Beatouna Recycling Company. 

The recycling plant is specialized in the recycling of plastic into pellets it is capable of treating 1000 tons of municipal solid waste daily, will act as a base for Al-Arfaj Group’s planned expansion in the recycling of plastic into pellets and pulping of waste paper grades & production of Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) plastics that are widely used around the world..

And voila, these can now be purposed into almost anything.

Happy Recycle and Save the Planet Day

Happy Earth Day

Today, I make a pledge to be more aware and concerned about playing my part in not using plastic and recycling the plastic that I have used. Strictly using my recycle shopping bag instead of supermarket bags, collecting all our plastic and glass for recycling by Ominiya. Signed, Kim

Omniya Kuwait PET Plastic Recycle Plant Opens Today in Jahra

I've heard of a few recycle programmes but then they seemed to fizzle out but Omniya have now opened a large purpose-built facility in Jahra to handle recycling all those water bottles that I feel so guilty throwing away. Bravo! Look out for one of their 2,500 collection boxes spread out over the city.

This one is in Al Shaheed Park in the Habitat Museum building.

One With Earth Workshop for Kids

'One With Earth' workshop has been designed by a small team of environmental scientists, educators, activists and artists to dissect the factors harming our environment today. The areas of land, air and water pollution, as well as waste management and recycling will be investigated using scientific methods which engage students' critical thinking skills. Students will work together at the end of each class to create reusable and upcycled art to provide presentations on what they've discovered in their learning.

The workshop targets 4-12 year olds, inviting parents to join in, and aims to promote analytical skills, teamwork, public speaking, and environmental awareness. The ultimate goal is to help nurture a green mindset for our future. 

Proceeds from the class will be used to promote a local recycling campaign.
