talabat and MME join World Cleanup Day at Al Wakra Beach

Doha: The region’s leading food and delivery app, talabat, in partnership with the Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME), observed the global event dedicated to saving our environment - World Cleanup Day. Earlier this week, employees and riders joined hands to beautify Al Wakra Beach, collecting litter for proper disposal.

During the event, talabat and the Ministry joined over 180 countries around the globe, dedicated to clean both the streets and the beach. 

The partnership came together as both organisations followed a similar vision: a cleaner, more environmentally-friendly way of life in Qatar and beyond.

The partnership brought together a team of 55 employees and riders, who continue to showcase their crucial role for our society, as they took part in beautifying the iconic destination.

talabat continues to pledge its support for Qatar’s environment in many ways, including the use of recycled boxes for groceries, where they partnered with Qatari start-up Elite Paper Recycling, as well as promoting “no cutlery” options on food orders, and guiding restaurant partners to use recyclable packaging. As it continues to support a cleaner future in Qatar, talabat encourages its ecosystem and the public to always keep in mind the role they can play for our environment. 

Francisco de Sousa, Managing Director of talabat Qatar, said, “talabat is honoured to join forces with our local Ministry of Municipality and Environment as we all have a responsibility to save our environment.” 

de Sousa also commented on talabat’s commitment towards a greener future for Qatar. “At talabat, we encourage our ecosystem to stay environmentally cautious throughout the chain, our in-app features to reduce waste and sustainable green packaging. We also encourage our customers to properly dispose their delivery packages, preferably through recycling. Both at an organisational and individual level, we have a role to keep Qatar clean!”
