Recycling program at Les Roses Compounds

Recycling is now available at Les Roses Compounds!

Les Roses Real Estate and OCS Qatar are pleased to announce that we are adding recycling service for residents and launching a new recycling program in our compounds starting from October 2019.

Recycling the paper, cardboard, plastic and metal from our residents household will help reduce the amount waste which is a crucial and simple step to building a greener community.

Do You Own Reusable Bags Yet?

The idea is to give all the customers at Falcon Fruits & Vegetables (a popular produce shop in West Bay) the possibility to purchase and start using reusable bags for their produce. 

Reusable bags will be put up for sale at the store and accompanied by a poster encouraging shoppers to take the opportunity of Qatar Sustainability Week to buy such bags and commit to change. 

We know that once we own reusable bags, we are more likely to walk away from plastic bags and to say no to other types of single-use plastic as well. 

Reduce Kitchen Waste

Naufar kitchen takes an initiative in recycling food waste from the preparation. This stage takes a vital part in the process in which the vegetable peels that usually ends up in the trash are being used and recycled (usable part). Trimmings and peels are roasted, boiled to make vegetable stock. The stock is used in the dishes to enhance its flavor.

Grow Your Own Plant

Employees will participate in growing their own plants, by planting the seeds in small pots and place it on their individual desks.

Pots will be used from recycled materials to reduce waste.

Plants will help improve the indoor air quality and increase employees productivity and satisfaction.

Ginger Camel Carpool

We at Ginger Camel believes in investing for a sustainable environment, that is why we made a choice to share a ride with our colleagues everyday going to work, and back to our homes. It was a little sacrifice that we had give, but little did we know we are not just minimizing car emissions in Doha, it also gives us an opportunity to get to know the people we worked with even more⁠. It is a mixture of feeling good about doing something right while also enjoying the people who share the same belief and care for the environment with you.
