UAE: ENOC Group bans single use plastic across operations
The Group has achieved a 100% single use plastic free environment throughout its business units and completed its original commitment made in March of 2020.
ENOC Group has announced that it has banned single use plastics across its operations as well as in its headquarters in sync with the United Arab Emirate’s vision of promoting an inclusive green economy. The news adds up to the company’s original commitment made in March of 2020, when it announced the beginning of a phase-out of single-use plastics plan.
Today, the company has confirmed the achievement of a 100% single use plastic free environment across its business units and corporate departments. Since 2020, ENOC has prevented approximately 14 tons of plastic waste from entering landfills and saved roughly AED 400,000 due to the elimination of single use plastics.
“ENOC Group is proudly committed to supporting the vision of the nation to become a sustainable destination. As a leading energy player, we understand the importance of implementing sustainable best practices across our network, such as the elimination of single use plastics. Corporate social responsibility is at the heart of ENOC’s decision-making process, and we aim to be a model for organisations in positively impacting our communities,” said Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO of ENOC.
As alternatives to single use plastic items used in its operations, the company has switched over to more sustainable items such as paper bags, wooden straws, water dispensers with reusable bottles and recyclable lids. Additionally, ENOC has also reduced its paper consumption.
