Rahmania Mall, Sharjah, has successfully recycled over 187 tonnes of waste by effectively implementing its waste management policy, according to a press statement. Keeping up with its commitment to Sharjah’s and the UAE's long-term sustainability goals, the mall has also taken other initiatives such as the use of terracotta tiles for the building's façade, which is a natural stone that reduces overall energy consumption in the structure; the use of LED and solar-powered lights in parking lots; and eco-friendly and PH neutral cleaning chemicals, among others, the statement added.  

According to data, the Mall’ WUI (Water Use Intensity) is 205.38 l/sqm per year and is rated as a good performer in terms of electrical consumption, as determined by Green Building Council.  

Abdullah Al Huraimel, Executive Director of New Enterprises at Sharjah Cooperative Society, said, “Since the mall’s inception in March 2021, we have successfully implemented several environment-friendly features and recycling programmes to reduce its carbon footprint and promote sustainable living in the community of Sharjah. The mall continues to implement sustainable business practices, in line with its vision for 2022, and has also conducted a feasibility study for the photovoltaic system, while also strengthening safety and security policies.”
