Zain launches initiative for book recycling

KUWAIT: Zain announced the launch of a new sustainable community initiative to recycle used books and papers. The company has provided containers in 10 different locations at Zain megastores and in Sabah Al Salem University City in Shadadiya. The move comes in collaboration with Enviroserve, Kuwait’s first-of-its-kind recycling facility. This initiative aims at raising social awareness about the crucial topic of environmental sustainability, as well as providing real-world solutions to encourage the community to adopt positive practices that contribute to lessening the effects of climate change.

The campaign coincides with the recent end of the academic year, where tons of books and papers are thrown away in waste bins. Zain provided containers to collect books, papers, and documents at seven of its megastores across the nation: main branch in Shuwaikh, Jahra co-op branch, Adan co-op branch, Farwaniya co-op branch, New Kout Mall branch, Bibi Tower branch in Salmiya, and Mishref co-op branch. The company also joined forces with Kuwait University to provide three containers at Sabah Al-Salem University City in Shadadiya.

To make this initiative a success, Zain has collaborated with Enviroserve, Kuwait’s first-of-its-kind recycling facility. Books and papers will be collected on a regular basis from Zain megastores and Kuwait University
