● Beach cleaning:
Lulu Hypermarket Qatar and Seashore Recycling organized several events in various LuLu Stores across Qatar to mark the World Environment Day 2022. The aim was to raise awareness on protecting the environment, promoting sustainable practices, and cultivating the culture of recycling among the public.
The activities included a clean up at Sealine Beach, Mesaieed, collecting about 150kg of trash, out of which the recyclable material were processed by Seashore
Recycling and Sustainability.
The event itself was zero-waste, by using reusable bags and gloves for collection and other materials being recycled. Part of the celebrations were the Doha Recycling Tour, to popularise the culture of recycling among the public. Seashore Recycling Collection trucks visited different LuLu Stores at a pre-scheduled time for people to drop paper, plastics, metals, E-waste and batteries for recycling.
LuLu Hypermarket Qatar and Seashore Recycling also organised an upcycling workshop for children at the LuLu Hypermarket Barwa City. The children were taught to make artwork from waste material and that sustainability begins with them and their family.
