blogbaladi.com- ABC Achrafieh kicked off a recycling campaign last week and replaced their old bins with new ones that separate recyclable from non-recyclable items.
Moreover, ABC Lebanon signed a Zero Waste Act, which is an initiative aimed “at minimizing solid waste haphazard disposal and diverting the waste stream away from landfills”. ABC is expected to reduce waste by 80% in all its malls. Needless to say, businesses should have started recycling long time ago in Lebanon but it’s better late than never.
It’s good that ABC took this initiative and started recycling and hopefully other malls and businesses will follow-suit and join the cycle.
It is worth noting that the Lebanese population has generated more than 2,040,000 tonnes of solid waste in 2014. This is not the first environmentally friendly initiative ABC has taken this year as they installed the largest private photovoltaic plant in Lebanon on ABC’s rooftop two months ago.
We should all join the cycle! We should all recycle!
