1. Green Grounds Initiative (Bqaa Green)

The “Green Grounds” initiative is a community-based volunteer project launched by the Scientific Endowment in collaboration with the Center of Excellence for Research in Advanced Materials at King Abdulaziz University, and is considered the first of its kind in Saudi Arabia. The initiative aims to manage waste effectively and sustainably through sorting, collection, and recycling, in addition to providing research studies to support environmental strategies.

The initiative begins in the Western Region during the Hajj season and plans to expand to all regions of the Kingdom in subsequent phases. It involves collaboration with the Holy Capital Municipality to facilitate field operations, Joudi Golden Company to supervise operational teams, and the National Waste Management Center to support waste management.

The initiative also focuses on promoting the transition to a circular economy in Saudi Arabia, reducing waste reaching landfills, and enhancing the use of recycled materials in manufacturing.
