REUSE 1.0

In May of 2007, In an effort to expand their initiatives and introduce their new brand identity, MRC in coordination with the El Boutique Creative Group organized a creative Public Relations event to raise awareness for the environment, promote recycling, and highlight the importance of waste management, REUSE.  Hosted at The Sultan Gallery, a versatile group of local designers were invited to showcase their talents through innovative product design in the realm of furniture and house ware products, produced entirely from waste, scrap, and recycled materials collected from MRC’s Amghara facility.

Building on the success of last year’s event, a second installment of ‘REUSE’ will be held in Kuwait at Bayt Lothan under the patronage of MRC and Zain on the 30th of November for 3 days.  Bayt Lothan embodies a spacious courtyard with a selection of dedicated rooms that will be utilized as focused exhibition spaces for a variety of artistic mediums.
