GPCA adds US, Australia and Sri Lanka to environment campaign

DUBAI, February 28, 2017

The Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association’s (GPCA) Waste Free Environment (WFE) campaign has expanded into three new territories, adding the US, Australia and Sri Lanka to its global reach.

Growing participation in the WFE initiative – now in its fifth year – encompasses 17 companies and thousands of volunteers across 14 nations.

The campaign’s expansion has been made possible through partnerships with Dow Chemical and Muntajat in North America and Australia respectively, while GPCA’s founding members Sabic and Borouge will be hosting events in China, The Netherlands and Singapore for the third year running.

In the UAE, to mark the anniversary and growth of the initiative, the GPCA will host a carnival in Dubai supported by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change and the Dubai Municipality for the fourth consecutive year.

The carnival event will include an educational playground of circuit-style stations offering volunteers an action-packed morning filled with competitions, games, quizzes and a magic show, in addition to clean-up activities.  - TradeArabia News Service
