Recycling of Large Construction Waste
The Public Works Authority "Ashghal" in Qatar has achieved significant successes in promoting sustainability in construction projects since 2022. This has been accomplished through the implementation of an integrated system for managing and recycling millions of tons of demolition and construction waste. Approximately 2.5 million cubic meters of excavation materials have been reutilized, and over 300,000 tons of waste—including wood, plastics, paper, and metal scraps—have been recycled. Additionally, 8,000 tons of food waste have been converted into organic fertilizer. These initiatives contribute to supporting a circular economy, achieving sustainability standards, and enhancing the sustainability of building projects, in line with Qatar’s National Vision 2030 and the National Development Strategy. They also underscore the Authority’s commitment to applying sustainable building practices and reducing waste.
