RIYADH: The Roads General Authority has partnered with the National Housing Company to launch a pioneering initiative to recycle construction and demolition waste for road paving at the Al-Fursan development in Riyadh, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Tuesday.
Situated in northeastern Riyadh, Al-Fursan is an expansive residential development distinguished by modern architecture, comprehensive facilities and green spaces designed to elevate residents’ quality of life.
The initiative transforms debris from demolished buildings into new construction materials for reuse in infrastructure development, reinforcing the Kingdom’s broader sustainability agenda.
According to SPA, the authority said that the project had converted an environmental challenge into a value-added opportunity by repurposing waste from within the project site as base material for roadworks in the district.
Nearly 350,000 cubic meters of construction waste have been collected and recycled, the authority said, supporting national goals to develop sustainable infrastructure, advance the circular economy and improve resource efficiency.
