Mobilization and Planning for Eid
The three days of Eid al-Adha saw a broad mobilization of various sectors and bodies across the nation. This period witnessed significant coordination efforts to manage the logistics of sacrificial skin collection. Authorities adopted a national plan to determine the specific timing for placing and collecting sacrificial skins. This full approach ensured a coordinated effort throughout the holiday period, minimizing potential disruptions and maximizing efficiency. The national plan served as the overarching strategy, guiding regional and local implementation.
Each governorate subsequently developed its own specific plan for waste collection and transport, mobilizing specialized companies dedicated to skin collection. These localized plans were key for addressing the unique geographical and logistical considerations of each region. These efforts involved several key entities, including the Directorates of Environment and Industry, waste collection and transport companies, municipalities, and technical landfill centers. Civil society actors also participated in supporting the campaign's objectives, demonstrating a collective commitment to the initiative. The involvement of such a diverse array of stakeholders, from government bodies to private companies and community groups, was integral to the campaign's widespread reach and operational success.
The Ministry of Environment and Quality of Life prepared a proactive program specifically for skin collection during Eid al-Adha. This program included both an awareness campaign and educational initiatives designed to inform citizens about proper collection procedures. Their involvement aimed to streamline the process and ensure environmental standards were met, emphasizing the importance of proper handling for subsequent valorization.
Citizen Contributions and Company Roles
Citizens effectively contributed to the national campaign's success by properly treating and salting sacrificial skins, a key step for preserving their quality. This direct involvement from the public also included diligently adhering to instructions for placing the skins in designated collection areas.

Getaex was responsible for recovering the collected skins, undertaking their utilization, and valorizing the material. This corporate involvement ensured that the raw materials gathered from the public were processed efficiently for further use within the industry, transforming what would otherwise be waste into a valuable resource. The company's expertise in material recovery was central to the economic success of the valorization effort.
Youth Empowerment in Recycling
