the Chairman of Bapco’s Environment, Health and Safety Committee (EHSC) & DCE Refining and Marketing,
Mr. Ebrahim Talib, also highlighted the importance of this programme and the role of all employees towards
the success of it. The ceremony ended with distributing appreciation shields to the recycling services

Benefits of Recycling
Recycling has many environmental benefits in addition to economic advantages. The majority of general
waste from our day-to-day activities ends up buried forever in landfill, taking up space and money, with no
potential for the wasted item to be re-used. Recycling is a process that converts waste into re-usable
materials, which does not only lead to the conservation of our resources, saves costs and sustains our
environment for future generations, but also results in the reduction of pollution and prevention of greenhouse
gases entering our earth’s atmosphere; clearly a win-win situation.
