During this period, 22 million 483 thousand kg of packaging waste was collected, 961 thousand m² of forest area was protected, 80 million liters of water was saved and carbon emissions were reduced by 717 thousand kg.

In addition to the 1st Class Waste Bringing Centers, the number of mobile waste bringing centers was increased to 29.
