The “Zero Waste Project,” carried out under the auspices of Mrs. Emine Erdoğan, the wife of President Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, aims both to contribute to the economy by providing savings in many areas from the environment to energy, and to leave a livable world for future generations. This approach to resource and waste management based on the circular economy supports the efficient use of resources while encouraging sustainable production and consumption habits. Zero Waste is founded on preventing waste; reducing the generation of waste, encouraging reuse and spreading recycling.
