The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 stadium sites have collectively diverted 79 percent of solid waste from landfill through reuse and recycling, a new report has said. The report released by the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) and Gulf Organization for Research and Development (GORD) outlines the sustainable waste management practices implemented at FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 stadium construction sites. The report said 90 percent of the waste generated at Al Janoub Stadium and 84 percent generated at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium was either reused or recycled. For the ongoing Ras Abu Aboud Stadium project, the share of waste diverted so far is around 95 percent. The diverted waste from the four other stadiums ranges between 72 percent and 80 percent. SC’s Sustainability Director Engineer Bodour Al Meer said, “Minimizing waste and increasing recycling is a key strategic objective of the Qatar 2022 Sustainability Strategy and we are proud of our achievements in this area.” (TNN)
