Doha Festival City's commitment to operational excellence in waste management enhances its environmental sustainability efforts. By actively promoting waste reduction and recycling initiatives, and strategically conserving resources, we aim to minimize the environmental impact throughout mall operations. This sustainable attraction demonstrates a strong dedication to sustainability through the following key features:
Waste Management: We have strategically placed waste collection and recycling bins, cages, skips, and compactors throughout the mall and loading bay. A fully trained housekeeping team adheres to waste collection and segregation protocols throughout the mall and loading bays. We have introduced unique designs for bins and cages to raise awareness among staff, tenants, and visitors. This Effective waste segregation and recycling strategy have reduced landfill waste and enhanced cost management efficiency.
Zero food waste initiatives: Introduced the food Digester Machines that convert food waste into grey water, which helps clear grease from pipes and is used for irrigating the mall’s landscaping. In addition, we have partnered with our F&B tenants on the #SaveDontWaste campaign to promote the segregation of food waste from general waste. The segregated food waste is processed in our food digester machines, which helps reduce landfill waste and lowers waste management operational costs
Through this initiatives the facility has achieved a 16% reduction in landfill waste by implementing effective waste segregation, recycling, and using Digester Machines, leading to an 8% increase in recycling rates.
