On the occasion of the International Day of Recycling, the Makhzoumi Foundation Development Program participated in the “Big Blue Campaign” exhibition, from 18 to 23 March 2019, at the Dunes Hotel – Verdun, under the patronage of Minister of Environment Fadi Jrayssati.
The exhibition included a display of innovations in the recycling sector, where Makhzoumi Foundation offered a wide collection of upcycled, eco-friendly handicrafts. The Foundation also presented its project “Yalla Nefers”, which collects paper waste, as well as inorganic waste (plastic, glass, metal, cloth and shoes …) from 15 points in Beirut.
Makhzoumi Foundation also dedicated a corner at the exhibition for environmental handicrafts made by school students, in order to sensitize them to the need for waste reduction, reuse and recycling, known as the Rs principle.
