The four billion Qatari Riyal project could finally bring recycling to the mainstream here.

Spread out over three square kilometers, the center is meant to segregate waste, and then recycle it into new products, such as fertilizer, cardboard and plastic.

The Peninsula newspaper reports that recyling bins will be distributed across the country, and awareness campaigns will be carried out at schools, hotels and malls to educate the populace on the importance of separating their waste.
