KFH supports Omnia project

Plastic bottles recycling launched

KUWAIT CITY, Oct 13: Kuwait Finance House (KFH) participated in the launch of the implementation phase of the plastic bottles recycling environmental project (Omnia) as an environmental partner and the first sponsor for this national project. KFH is the first bank to embrace this idea that aims at increasing the awareness of the importance of collecting and recycling the plastic bottles in Kuwait.

In collaboration with KFH, Omnia installed 8 plastic bottles collection boxes at the main Cooperative Societies in different areas including Aledayliah, Alsalam, Sabah Alsalem, Mubarak Alkabeer, Saad Alabdallah, and Abdullah Almubarak.

KFH’s partnership stems from its commitment to assume the corporate social responsibility, and its keenness to increase the awareness of having a clean and healthy environment.

The project has 3 phases to recycle bottles that include spreading the awareness of trash sorting, distributing carton boxes at schools, houses, universities, hotels, hospitals etc and recycling the plastic bottles in cooperation with the industrial authorities in an attempt for the latter to produce grains of plastic used to manufacture plastic bottles or new packaging materials.

The project is based on an array of successful experiments and studies in several countries in the world. It is the initiative of a group of ambitious Kuwaiti youth who participate in raising the environmental awareness while assuring protecting and preserving the environment.
