1- Reduce trimming waste and organic waste

3- Stock rotation and proper packaging
As part of Mowasalat (Karwa)'s sustainability initiatives we recycle all the used tyres of buses and taxis in an effort to reduce waste to landfill.
We generate about 11,000 waste tyres per year. All these waste tyres are donated to Qatar Racing Club to build racing track boundary.
This is an ongoing initiative which we conduct throughout the year.
