Not only is one local Dubai company doing its bit to cut the use of plastic in the work place, it’s calling on Careem and Talabat to do the same.<\/p>\n

Love this idea!<\/p>\n

Helpling<\/a> is a Dubai-based start-up, with German roots, that lets you book home cleaners online. As well as being committed to clean homes, they are also committed to a cleaner environment.<\/p>\n

As a company Helping realised it was throwing away 100 single use plastic bottles a day…that’s a lot!<\/h3>\n

But not uncommon in Dubai offices, so the company decided to make a change.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

To combat the waste: Helpling purchased reusable bottles for all staff<\/h3>\n

Immediately, there was a noticeable drop in waste and the company even cut costs with less bottle purchases.<\/p>\n

Not bad for a simple change!<\/p>\n

Now, not only has Helpling made a change, it’s calling out other local Dubai companies to do the same.<\/p>\n

Careem and Talabat: you’re it! Helpling wants YOU to start using reusable bottles in the office<\/h3>\n

It’s time: Cut out the pointless waste of single-use plastic in the workplace.<\/p>\n
