Doha, Qatar: After announcing the replacement of 100,000 single-use plastic shopping bags monthly with reusable branded sustainable shopping bags on Earth Day, Qatar Duty Free (QDF) is finally putting the plan into action for World’s Environment Day in all Day2Day Essentials Stores at Hamad International Airport.
The sustainable cotton shopping bags are reusable at least 500 times, vegan certified, and made from lightweight and locally sourced cotton.
Qatar Duty Free took the first step towards a plastic-free, eco-friendly travel retailer on World Environment Day.
Replacing single-use plastic bags is a significant step toward increasing the positive environmental impact at Hamad International Airport and staging QDF’s position as a key player in promoting sustainability in the travel-retail industry.
QDF Senior Vice President, Thabet Musleh said: “We are very proud of taking the first step towards transforming our shop floor into a sustainable space on World Environment Day. Sustainability is shaping the future of travel retail.”
