Initiative 1: Upcycling/ Recycling Activities

Internal Sustainable Practices (ISP) at AAB includes the upcycling and recycling of excess packaging materials. Composed of volunteers from across Business Units, the Green Team have been making functional products out of excess pallets and tyres such as outdoor furniture, shelving/ racks and storage units with the assistance of the members mostly from the Spare Parts Department.

In line with the above, in the recent project, the AAB Green Team-built custom-made feeder boxes for stray cats around the office vicinity. Endless possibilities are available when we upcycle and recycle. Instead of the pallets ending up in dumping sites, we can create useful items not only for human consumption but even for pets as well.

Event 2: Waste Segregation

AAB has embarked on a Recycling Initiative involving waste segregation of materials that we use on a daily basis. Recycling bins are placed on each floor of the Al Abdulghani Tower.

We move our gathered wastes to the caged bins for collection by Seashore Recycling & Sustainability Centre (SRSC), a recycling company in Qatar. AAB Tower employees and all tenants are encouraged to cooperate in the initiative. Paper, Plastic and Cans are encouraged to be disposed properly for recycling.
