The "German Municipal Experience in the Waste System" meeting, organized by the German-Turkish Chamber of Commerce and Industry together with the Environmental Export Initiative of the Federal Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation, Reconstruction and Reactor Safety, was held in Istanbul on February 14.

At the meeting where issues such as the Munich waste system, the importance of collection centers in the disposal system, developments in waste incineration and energy production facilities were discussed, ÇEVKO Foundation Public and External Relations Manager Alphan Eröztürk made a presentation on "The Development of Turkey's Waste System and the Location of Collection Centers".

In his presentation, Eröztürk gave information about Waste Collection Centers that exist abroad and have just started to be established in Türkiye. Eröztürk, who talked about the importance of establishing AGMs and operating them in a healthy way in order to reduce waste collection costs and develop the system, as well as to convey the municipalities' work on waste management to consumers, said, "AGMs are no longer just places where waste is brought in Europe, they have become platforms that host waste-related second-hand markets and provide information and training. In our country, making AGMs interesting for consumers with their design elements and regulations is important for the success of the system." he said.

Representatives of different municipalities of Istanbul, officials of associations and foundations, and representatives of different institutions attended the meeting and shared their studies and experiences on the subject with the participants.
