Ashghal releases Recycling Manual, first of its kind in region

Doha: As part of initiatives of the Public Works Authority (Ashghal) to use recycled materials in projects, Ashghal Research and Development Center run by the Quality and Safety Department has prepared the Ashghal Recycling Manual, the first of its kind in Qatar and the region.

This manual is the result of three years of research, expertise, field tests and pilot projects implemented using recycled materials. The manual is considered a technical reference for engineers, consultants and contractors working in Ashghal projects, as well as for manufacturers and investors in the field of recycling. It also provides technical support for projects in achieving Ashghal’s recycling strategy. The importance of Ashghal Recycling Manual lies in providing the requirements for dealing with recycled materials in terms of sorting and storing to ensure quality, setting controls for producing recycled materials to ensure stability level of quality, encouraging investors in this field and providing a reference in the field of recycling to ensure continuous development as per increasing experiences in the field.
