QATAR Chamber’s Environment Committee, a subsidiary of Food Security and Environment Committee, held a meeting at the chamber’s venue to discuss proposals made by the Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME) for the regulation, recycling and treatment of waste.
The meeting was chaired by the Head of Food Security and Environment Committee Mohamed bin Ahmed Al Obaidli in the presence of Dr Saif Al Hajari, Nasser Ahmed Al Khalaf and the committee’s Vice Chairman Abdulrahman bin Abdulla Al Ansari.
The meeting was also attended by Director of Waste Management at the ministry Eng Hamad Jassim Al Bahr.
On his part, Mohamed Al Obaidli said that the meeting aimed to help attendees learn about the studies conducted by the MME and steps taken to implement the proposals.
He stressed the importance of developing waste recycling industry to benefit the national economy, noting that the state has a key role in this regard by offering incentives to the private sector to intensify investments in this sector.
Obaidli also said that the committee was coordinating with MME to hold a meeting with the consulting company on waste recycling and management.
For his part, Eng Hamad Jassim Al Bahr reviewed the proposals made by the ministry, assuring that it would contribute to reducing waste, protecting environment, and encouraging investments in this sector.
He said that the ministry had a clear waste recycling strategy based on recent studies and a slew of legislative decisions with the aim of supporting companies working in the field by providing them with raw materials and minimising financial obstacles related to treatment and transport, as well as preserving environment by reducing materials which are being buried or burned.
Bahr noted that eight reports are currently being prepared on waste management in coordination with the consulting company, and these reports include data collection and analysis, required infrastructure, raising awareness and participation of private sector.
He said the Waste Treatment Management conducts a survey and study every five years to identify the proportions of waste in household waste per tonne.
Dr Saif Al Hajari underlined the importance of identifying the correct proportions of household waste, stressing the importance of conducting such tests every year or two years and having a database in order to increase the participation of the private sector in the process of treatment and recycling waste.
The committee recommended the importance of competitiveness between the private sector companies in treatment and recycling of household waste.
The committee’s members also discussed three projects related to waste and single-use biodegradable plastic bags which can be used in producing animal feeds.
