Last year there was a lot of talk about Qatar Government hiring a Singaporean company "Keppel" to build a domestic waste recycling plant in Mesaieed. They were supposed to make it operational in 2012. Is someone in the know? In the plant operational?

I agree with you, but you have to start somewhere.

Building the plant and then educating / enforcing the population to recycle will help in the long term..

and how the government will implement this?

as QS mentioned, the people here just throw their trash everywhere...even if there are bins in the area. Too lazy to walk?

Well this is the best part about this plant. AFAIK there is no need to separate your waste. It will b separated on site.

before building the plant, they have to plant the idea of recycling in mind and mentality of the local residents.. 90% of them have no clue about recysling, let alone have it as a habit..
