DON’T FORGET YOUR REUSABLE FOOD CONTAINERS!

14 Oct 21

The time has come | Reusable containers are now required for all takeaway meals

Dear Colleagues,

We’ve highlighted on a number of occasions the need for NEOM to tackle our overconsumption of single use plastic containers used for food and drinks in our communities.

The time for real change has now arrived.

From Sunday October 17, NEOM will cease the use of all plastic food containers in the dining hall. From this date onwards, all residents will be required to bring their own reusable food containers for takeaway meals from any of our dining areas.

We are also discontinuing paper cups from our offices and will be encouraging the use of reusable options.

Importantly, these actions are bringing us in line with our NEOM Vision and Values, our commitment to CARE for our environment, as well as the United Nation’s Sustainability Development Goal 12 (UN SDG) for “Responsible Consumption and Production.”

We thank you for your support of this important change and remind you again not to forget your reusable food container!

If you didn’t receive your reusable food container in your Unit, please request it from the Housekeeping team at 8888.

Kind regards,

NEOM Sustainability Champions
