Zero Waste Alliance Debut

Emine Erdoğan announced the launch of the “Global Zero Waste Alliance” at a meeting in Antalya on the sidelines of COP31, aiming to turn environmental responsibility into international partnerships and projects. The alliance will focus on five areas: the circular economy and zero waste; plastic waste and packaging materials; zero-waste zones; food and organic waste; and education and youth. It will work through an annual forum and a platform in Istanbul to turn solutions into practical projects. Citing Turkey’s experience, Erdoğan noted that the recycling rate had risen from 13% to more than 37% in nine years. She stressed that preventing waste at its source and fostering international cooperation are essential alongside recycling.
