Al Meera distributes reusable shopping bags

Doha, Qatar: Al Meera Consumer Goods Company celebrated the International Plastic Free Day 2022 by replacing shopping plastic bags with reusable ones on July 3, 2022. This comes in line with Al Meera Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program as a national leading retailer, in continuation of its efforts to spread awareness of the best green practices and the importance of environmental sustainability in the short and long term.

As a pioneering national company in the field of environmental responsibility and in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, Al Meera participated in this celebration with the aim to inform customers about the need to reduce the single-use plastic bags to preserve and sustain the environment and contribute to the endeavors of achieving Qatar National Vision 2030. Moreover, Al Meera raised awareness of the importance of reusable bags, and the need to combat plastic pollution, as more than 100,000 reusable bags were distributed in all Al Meera branches.

Al Meera continues to urge consumers to participate in protecting the environment by providing machines for recycling plastic bottles and cans across its branches. Currently, these recycling machines are available in 20 of Al Meera branches, with plans to increase them in phases.
