Al Diar Capital Hotel, a member of the Al Diar chain owned and managed by Abu Dhabi National Hotels (ADNH), has launched a new initiative to recycle paper and plastic materials.

The hotel has placed two large labelled green bins behind its premises, one for paper and the other for plastic materials.

Al Diar Capital has awarded the contract to the Abu Dhabi-based Zenath Recycling and Waste Management Company for collection of the contents of the bins once every two days.

The initiative was launched early this month. Al Diar Capital has simultaneously started an environmental awareness campaign for its guests and staff, aimed at encouraging segregation of waste and reduction of water and soap usage. 

Ali Salih, general manager of Al Diar Capital who initiated the programme, said: "A clean, green and safe environment is of utmost importance to us, and we are making a conscious effort to contribute in whatever little ways we can.  Our guests and staff fully appreciate the value of what we aim to achieve through this programme and has been fully co-operative."

"This drive has a dual effect. In addition to keeping our environment clean, we are also contributing to charity the proceeds we receive from the recycling company, Zenath,” Salih added.-TradeArabia News Service
