Future of Sustainability Initiative: Saudi Arabia Promotes Fashion Recycling
The Saudi Fashion Commission has launched the Future of Sustainability Initiative, a key project that aims to raise consumer's awareness about fashion recycling, reported the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
The Future of Sustainability Initiative is a sustainable program that aims to promote fashion recycling in retail spaces across Saudi Arabia. The initiative involves deploying recycling bins in shopping malls to encourage the public and private sectors to take part in fashion recycling practices.
The initiative also underscores the Fashion Commission's commitment to the sustainability pillar. It aims to promote sustainable practices in the fashion industry and to raise consumer's awareness.
Furthermore, the Future of Sustainability Initiative aims to develop a circular textile recycling system and increase public awareness of the importance of fashion recycling.
In February 2025, the Saudi Fashion Commission launched the Sustainable Ihram Initiative, a pioneering program that aims to transform previously used Ihram garments into new, sustainable Ihrams through a circular textile recycling system.
These initiatives align with the environmental goals of Saudi Vision 2030 and mark a major stride towards a more sustainable fashion ecosystem in the Kingdom.

Spiritual journey of Hajj pilgrims ends with gifts and souvenirs
MAKKAH: Throughout their profound journey of faith, especially as Hajj concludes, pilgrims commonly engage in the cherished custom of purchasing gifts. They flock to the malls and markets of Makkah, particularly those around the Grand Mosque. This tradition expresses their spiritual fulfillment and prepares them for their return home, blessed by Allah for having performed the sacred rites, according to a Saudi Press Agency report. Gift buying represents joy at Hajj's successful conclusion and strengthens social bonds between relatives, SPA added. Many gifts symbolize the holy sites and carry deep religious significance. Popular choices include Zamzam water, prayer beads, and copies of the Holy Qur'an. Pilgrims also frequently buy perfumes like incense and musk, along with various types of dates — ajwa dates being especially sought after. The markets of Makkah and Madinah see a significant boom after Hajj, bustling with pilgrims of diverse nationalities. These vibrant markets include modern malls in the Haram area, the traditional Aziziyah Market, the Hijaz Market, and bazaars near the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah. Merchants actively meet this demand, offering a wide range of products, special offers for pilgrims, and often discounts on bulk purchases.
