Qatar FIFA 2022 organisers aim to deliver a zero waste to landfill tournament
Doha, The Gulf Observer: With the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 fast approaching, the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) is aiming to deliver a zero waste to landfill event.
The overarching goal is to ensure all the waste generated at stadiums and fan zones is recycled, composted or converted to green energy. “With the responsibility of hosting the FIFA World Cup came an even larger responsibility to avoid leaving an impact on Qatar’s environment.
We started early in our journey to try to minimise the amount of waste being sent to landfill,” said Eng. Bodour Al Meer, the SC’s Sustainability Executive Director.“During the design and construction of our stadiums, significant focus was placed on minimising and recycling construction waste. During the operations of our stadiums, the focus is now on avoidance, minimisation, segregation, recycling and recovery,” added Al Meer.
