Majority of waste collected can be recycled only if it is - segregated at source: Dulsco

Dulsco urges residents to adopt recycling and waste management practices within their daily routine and contribute towards green environment

Dubai, September 6th, 2014: Dulsco, a regional leader in human resource solutions and waste management services, stated that majority of the waste collected can be only recycled if it is segregated at source. The company has been reaching out to the UAE residents and educating them to actively participate and play an important role in waste reduction and management. Campaigns run by Dulsco aims to inculcate and sustain a behavioural change in the residents on reducing and proper recycling of waste.

Across the world, the wave of environmental sustainability has hit new highs as environmental protection is of prime importance. Governments and organisations have started to act in a responsible way with the focus being on conserving natural resources and stressing on reusing and recycling for a brighter future for all. Countries like Singapore, Canada, Norway and several European countries have actually taken the situation of recycling very seriously.
 
”Dulsco organises various events and campaigns which addresses the recycling challenge and educates the masses. The Dulsco team shares information on the importance of waste segregation at source and why it is important to reduce, reuse and recycle. The concept of wet waste and dry waste was quite insightful for the people who participated in our campaigns and were serious about taking waste segregation and garbage recycling to the next level,” said S. Madhumohan, Director Waste Management, Dulsco.

“People have the notion that waste is non-recyclable and cannot be used further. This myth has to be dispelled at the earliest and informing the masses through campaigns and events can help waste management go a long way. The role of residents in waste management is important and effective as they can help carry the message across to the society through their families and friends. Waste can be recycled for better use and also energy can be converted from waste into usable forms such as heat, electricity and landfill gas recovery. If the people are educated about this concept then they will stop treating waste as a redundant material and will be focusing on converting it into better use through waste management techniques,” said S. Madhumohan.

Recently, Dulsco joined hands with ‘Dubai Municipality’ for the ‘My City My Environment’ campaign in its efforts to go green. This announcement helped educate their masses and create awareness on the new door-to-door recycling concept among the local residents. Dulsco also had partnered with ‘Dubai Municipality’ and ‘Union Co-operative’ for “Say no to plastic bags” campaign. Through this initiative Dulsco aimed to educate the public on the environmental impact of plastic bags and ways to reduce or avoid its usage. Other campaigns also included recycling efforts with Choithrams supermarket and departmental store and JSS International School to take the cause of recycling and waste management to the next level.

“Dubai Municipality has in its efforts to maintain its record as the cleanest city in the region also targets to be the most sustainable in the world by 2020. It has intensified its efforts to bring about awareness among the residents of Dubai by launching campaigns to educate the people about recycling concepts along with keeping high cleanliness standards. The residents of UAE have a high sense of social responsibility and commitment to keeping the surroundings clean thanks to the various campaigns run across the region. We aim to create more awareness in order to instill an informed recycling behavior within UAE residents,” concluded S. Madhumohan.
