Plastic-Free Shopping Campaigns

Al Meera Consumer Goods Company launched the ‘I am not made of plastic’ initiative, in collaboration with Al Rayan Bank and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change. The nationwide campaign promotes sustainable shopping habits by introducing limited-edition reusable shopping bags across all Al Meera branches in Qatar, coinciding with International Plastic Bag Free Day. The initiative features awareness events and competitions where customers can win QAR 5,000 shopping vouchers, adding incentive to the campaign's environmental message.

The reusable bags complement Al Meera's existing sustainability infrastructure, including Reverse Vending Machines that reward customers with points for recycling plastic bottles and cans. This comprehensive approach reflects the Middle East's growing corporate sustainability leadership and demonstrates how government-backed environmental initiatives can drive meaningful behavioral change. The campaign has sparked widespread community support, with customers embracing the reusable bags as a practical step toward reducing Qatar's plastic footprint and fostering collective action against plastic waste.
