“As part of our community and sustainability focused strategy at Times Square Center, we understand the importance of educating the next generations on sustainability. This is why we launched Busy Little Hands to give children the opportunity to discover and learn about nature, organic food, building healthy habits, and also understanding their part in creating a well-balanced world that is kind to the planet,” said Nancy Nese Ozbek, General Manager of Times Square Center.

Dubai plans to recycle 100 per cent of its waste and bring the percentage of rubbish being sent to landfills from the existing 80-90 per cent to zero by 2030. Times Square Center is proud to support this vision by implementing its very own eco-friendly initiatives, including the installation of a composting machine that will transform waste from its restaurants, cafes, and supermarket into organic compost soil, that will later be used for landscaping and planting within the venue, closer management of power and water, as well as promoting and encouraging the recycling of materials such as plastic and glass, with the installation of recycling points at the rear of the mall for people to deposit their recyclable household materials.
