Doha: Qatar Chemical Company Ltd. (Q-Chem) participated in the ‘Waste-Free Environment’ campaign (WFE) on March 10 in Al Wakra Family Beach. 

Launched by the Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (GPCA), WFE is a global environmental campaign organized annually across the region and the world. The initiative engages diverse stakeholders, including government entities, industrial sectors, and educational institutions. 

WFE promotes 3R’s concept: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and moving towards the circular economy concept. It encourages a more responsible attitude toward waste disposal and the need for the community to respond to environmental issues. The aim is to educate the public about the opportunities to incorporate sustainability into their daily habits and increase corporate and public awareness of the amount of waste being disposed of in the Gulf.  

Over 700 volunteers from different entities and educational institutions participated in the event. Q-Chem is committed to the sustainable preservation of the local environment and raising awareness in the community. Through WFE and other environmental initiatives, Q-Chem highlights the waste disposal problem, collaborates with stakeholders in contributing to the solutions, and supports local communities in these efforts.
