Visualize the number of buildings in the U.A.E, all of them lined up together. That is the amount of waste U.A.E produces every year. U.A.E is expanding in every way possible every second, and with that the amount of waste produced is also increasing. The question here is are we doing something about it? We usually see pathan men riding a bicycle carrying a stack of papers and cartons and selling it off to firms illegally for recycling and earning a minimum of 50dhs every day.
We usually see cartons and waste products lying outside a super market and some pathan men coming and collecting it either from the garbage can or from the side of a road.
Majority of the people do not give importance to waste, all they do is use, throw and not bother about it. We imagine them to go to places that are far away and vanish in some magical land. Unfortunately nothing of that is true. Recently U.A.E has taken steps to encourage people to recycle waste as much as they can. Many schools have started recycling campaigns for waste paper, cans and glasses. Schools have also been given the authority to have their own recycling bins within the campus. This will help in increasing awareness amongst the children and the youngsters of today’s generation.
Similarly, Emarat has installed recycling systems in various stations which encourages people to recycle and win a prize. If a person takes the step to recycle something he or she will end up winning coupons or discounts for products is at Emanate Retail outlets. Stationeries have also taken the step to recycle paper and plastic and sell products made of the recycled material.
U.A.E has taken steps to encourage recycling of products. Recent reports show that more than 70 tones of paper and cardboard have been collected and recycled in the past few months. The municipality has bins everywhere around the cities for people to throw their waste in so that it can be recycled.
At present Recycling is neither a myth nor a reality in the U.A.E. The government is taking the steps it should, they are planning ways to spread more awareness. Now it totally depends on how the people react and if they give prime importance to the reality that exists in today’s world. If we look at it as a whole, a lot more can be done than what is happening at present. The government and the people should start taking this seriously so that what has to be done is done in the right way.
