As part of its commitment to supporting national efforts toward achieving sustainable development goals, Metal and Recycling Company (MRC), a leading provider of waste management and industrial sustainability solutions, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Kuwait based non-profit plastic recycling company Omniya.

Under the MoU, Omniya will be responsible for collecting various types of plastic waste directly from the source, while MRC’s specialized facilities will process the collected material in line with global best practices, ensuring its safe and effective reuse across other industries.

The partnership aims to promote source-level plastic sorting as a sustainable lifestyle choice, empower students and educators to actively participate in environmental action, and encourage wider public involvement through visible, community-driven initiatives. Through these efforts, the collaboration seeks to set a national example by aligning local recycling practices with globally recognized standards.

Tarek Al-Mousa, Vice Chairman and CEO of MRC said: “Industrial sustainability is at the heart of what we do at MRC. We help our clients and partners in aligning their operations with environmental and social responsibility, whether through our waste management solutions or by putting our advanced facilities to work in support of environmental and community initiatives. Supporting Omniya’s mission to promote source-level plastic waste sorting is part of that commitment. Together, we aim to raise awareness and move closer to a more sustainable future for the next generation.”

Farah Shaban, Omniya’s CEO, said: “Our partnership with MRC aims to raise environmental awareness and promote the circular economy in line with Kuwait’s vision, the Sustainable Development Goals, and ESG principles. Through this collaboration, we continue our mission to organize source-level plastic waste sorting and strengthen public-private cooperation. A key focus for us is the education sector, where we aim to equip the next generation with the mindset and skills to protect the environment. We appreciate MRC’s role in receiving and recycling all sorted plastics, helping revive a promising industry and strengthening Kuwait’s circular economy.”
