3 Recycling at the forefront
Caterer has been told that recycling in Dubai is difficult, as when restaurants separate waste, it goes back into one pool again. However, this is not stopping water companies from encouraging the practice.
Voss Water regional director — GCC & Indian Ocean Will Foster says the company is proud of its corporate responsibility initiatives, on both a social and environmental level. He explains: “Our sustainability initiative is driven around our continued pursuit of carbon neutrality. To help this, we have teamed up with 3Degrees which is our sustainability partner. 3Degrees’ mission is to offset the impact of climate change by accelerating the development of a low-carbon, renewable energy economy.”
What does this mean for water bottles produced by Voss? Foster reveals: “All our bottles, including our iconic glass and plastic (PET) bottles are recyclable. Each bottle carries the international ‘recycle’ symbol above the barcode. At Voss we strongly urge our consumers, and non-Voss consumers too, not only to recycle water bottles but all their household waste.”

He says: “There is an increased focus on recycling efforts, and as drinks bottles accounts for a large amount of plastic that is disposed, I am sure it will be addressed in the near future.”
