Bahrain has made significant progress in waste management by reducing the volume of hazardous waste sent to landfill by more than 90 per cent.
His Majesty’s Personal Representative and Supreme Council for Environment chairman Shaikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa said Bahrain’s achievements demonstrate its continued commitment to establishing sustainability as a key pillar of its modern development.
“Bahrain has reduced the volume of hazardous waste sent to landfill by more than 90pc through the establishment of an advanced technical facility for treatment and conversion into materials used in various industries,” he said in a statement.
“Approximately 610,298 tonnes of waste were reused in construction and road projects during 2024, representing a growth rate of 28.82pc compared with previous years.”
Shaikh Abdulla explained that adopting the slogan “Restore It ... to Revive It” for this year’s National Environment Day reflects the kingdom’s firm commitment to further developing its environmental system, and highlights a national approach focused on improving the efficiency of resource use and reuse through sustainable practices.
He further emphasised that the Supreme Council for Environment continues, in co-ordination with relevant authorities, to develop policies and legislation that turn environmental challenges into developmental and economic opportunities.
Shaikh Abdulla also highlighted that promoting recycling as a shared social responsibility requires stronger partnerships with educational institutions and civil society organisations. He noted that Bahraini youth play a central role in advancing sustainability with a strong sense of national responsibility.
