Qatargas launches awareness drive on handling e-waste
DOHA: Qatargas and Ras Laffan Industrial City ( RLIC ) Directorate, have launched a summer awareness campaign at RLIC to educate employees within the city on the need to properly handle electronic waste. The campaign, which carries the slogan "Trash is not the right place, Understand your e-waste," urges all users of electronic equipment to stick to the three Rs - "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle" - in handling e-waste.Commenting on the company's support to the campaign, Toufik Benmosbah, Chief Safety, Environment and Quality Officer at Qatargas said: "This is the second time in less than two months we are joining hands with the RLIC for a good cause. After the successful awareness campaign on Heat Stress, this initiative is about safe and proper handling of electronic waste, whose volume is growing considerably thanks to the technological advancement, raising grave concerns about our environment."
He said the campaign is aiming, first and foremost, to help reduce generation of e-waste through smart procurement and good maintenance. "We also advise employees and organisations to reuse still functioning electronic equipment by donating or selling them to those who can still use it. As a final option, a proper recycling of all used or expired electronic equipment devices, batteries, mobile phones...etc. will help serve the environment better," he added.
