ATC sponsors ‘Green & Clean Environment’ Expo
KUWAIT: Advanced Technology Company (ATC), a company specialized in supplying and installing medical equipment and surgery theatres and building and sanitizing hospitals, announced sponsoring the ‘Green & Clean Environment Forum’ to be organized by the Leaders Group Company for Consultancy and Development in collaboration with EPA and a number of relevant ministries and bodies at Jaber Al-Ahmed Cultural Center on Oct 2 and 3.
ATC deputy CEO for strategic operations Ahmed Jaradi stressed the company was motivated by keenness on taking part in various environment-focused activities, adding that ATC is focused on using green building techniques. Jaradi said ATC also uses solar power in illuminating corridors in a number of hospitals and plans to expand solar power use to limit the use of electricity by using alternative resources with less emissions, as instructed by HH the Amir, who ordered 15 percent of the energy used in Kuwait to come from renewable energy resources by 2030.
Further, Jaradi hailed the state’s efforts in this regard, noting that Al-Shaqaya Renewable energy project involves building the first power plant generating 70 megawatts of electricity from renewable resources. Moreover, Jaradi reiterated that ATC is working on using new water treatment technology in hospitals to make them 100 percent safe and reuse the treated water for irrigation to help improve air quality of those buildings. He also noted that ATC plans to display its new equipment used in safe disposal of medical waste during the exhibition.
