Hail Municipality launches smart recycling machine to feed stray animals, cut plastic waste
RIYADH: In a bid to reduce plastic waste and promote animal welfare, Hail Municipality has launched a smart machine that recycles used bottles, leftover food and water into meals for stray animals.
The Saqya Rahma initiative aims to strike a balance between sustainability and compassion through a simple, tech-driven solution.
“The primary motivation lies in converting recyclable waste — such as plastic bottles, leftover food, and water — into a useful resource that helps hydrate and feed stray animals,” Saud Al-Ali, assistant secretary of Hail Region for Media and Corporate Communication, told Arab News.
“This achieves a balance between caring for the environment and supporting living creatures,” he added.
