Zero Waste Recycling

Let's answer the question of what is zero waste before the system of zero waste containers.

Zero waste; It is a waste management that covers the prevention of waste that occurs with the more efficient use of resources from our nature, the prevention or reduction of all waste formations, and the recovery of wastes by collecting them separately from their sources in cases where they occur.

With the rapid increase in the world population, together with the development of the economy and industry, their consumption has gradually increased, and this situation has increased our needs for our limited resources, resulting in our needs to use natural resources more efficiently. The fact that wastes should be managed more consciously, not unconsciously, has become an inevitable situation. Garbage containers and recycling bins save our world from the threat of environmental waste, as well as our energy losses.

Value has been added to the future with the garbage cans and zero waste containers used in the zero waste project. Zero waste containers placed within the scope of the Zero Waste Project started in Ankara, is the first target to be implemented in our country gradually until 2023.

Zero waste containers and garbage containers to be placed within the scope of the Zero Waste Project are planned to be implemented in the following areas:

Public organizations and institutions

All shopping malls

Hospitals
