The recycling awareness event aimed at promoting a culture of sustainability to reduce carbon emissions and engaging the private sector in national initiatives, which in turn reflect efforts to achieve Qatar’s vision. More than 500 frames were presented by Q-Tyre as the official sponsor of the initiative, as well as of Aspire Zone Sports Activities. Interested participants were explained about the entire process of tyres’ recycling and its ways and means to help Qatar achieve its environmental mission as envisaged in Qatar National Vision (QNV) 2030.

The tyres that motorists drive on the road can be recycled in various forms. Tyres may also be shredded and burned for specific purpose or pulverised to bits to be used to fill in a playground or football field.

The importance of recycling tyres cannot be overemphasized as this is not only keeping the environment clean but also promoting good health by preventing the possible spread of diseases.

Kahramaa Awareness Park (KAP) is one of the destinations for all kinds of such groups who have environment- related concerns as it offers the latest educational and awareness methodology by combining education and entertainment, which motivates the visitors to research, learn and to do practical implications. The presentations are designed using modern interactive techniques such as hologram technology and enhanced reality. KAP visit also includes a tour of its various facilities in addition to various workshops, awareness lectures, and theatrical plays. Registration can be made to visit the park through its website.
