About the Track
As millions gather at the Holy sites, the Hajj season presents a monumental environmental challenge, particularly in managing waste. This scenario also serves as an inspiring stage for pioneering sustainable solutions that address the root causes of pollution and enhance recycling practices.
Every year, the Hajj produces a large number of diverse waste: from fabrics and hair to sacrificial animal waste, plastics, and paper. These materials hold untapped potential for innovative recycling and repurposing.
Imagine transforming this annual flood of waste into valuable resources that serve both humanity and the planet. How can we design solutions that not only manage this waste but also enhance the sustainability of the Hajj experience?
