Riyadh- Taking a significant step toward environmental responsibility,
Amsa Hospitality is proud to announce an initiative to promote recycled products by
providing backpacks made from recycled plastic bottles for its employees and business
partners.
Creating backpacks from recycled plastic bottles is an innovative process that involves
collecting used bottles, shredding them into flakes, and then melting them into polyester
fibers. The fibers are woven into a fabric, then cut and sewn into backpacks.
Amsa Hospitality is a pioneering Saudi hospitality company aligned with the goals of Saudi
Vision 2030, including ensuring a greener future for the Kingdom and the planet.
Aamir Riaz, Chief Operating Officer of Amsa Hospitality, said, “Environmental
sustainability is a must-have in Amsa Hospitality’s daily operations. Using products created
from recycled waste promotes resource conservation and energy efficiency. Indeed,
producing recycled PET fabric consumes less energy than producing new polyester from
petroleum.”
The first 500 backpacks were given to visitors at last month’s Arabian Travel Market. Amsa
Hospitality aims to further its dedication to sustainability by exploring additional recycling
possibilities.
