Our Areas of Expertise
As ÇEVKO Foundation, we participated in the Upcycle Istanbul Art and Design Festival held at the Museum Gazhane on September 16, World Cleanup Day and September 17.
The second of the Upcycle Istanbul Art and Design Festival, organized by the sustainable social impact platform Upcycle Istanbul, which set out with the slogan "Join the upcycling movement", with the support of Kültür AŞ, a subsidiary of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, to raise awareness about upcycling and efficient use of resources, to show that waste can be evaluated and reused through art and design, and to draw attention to the sustainable environmental benefits of all kinds of transformation, was held on September 16, Cleaning Day and September 17.
Upcycle Art and Design Festival, which took place at Museum Gazhane, itself designed with inspiration from the upcycling movement, embraced the concept of responsible consumption this year. The festival, which aims to raise awareness of the impact of consumption habits on a world with limited resources, included works by environmentally friendly artists, short film screenings, interviews, workshops and Upcycle Bazaar.
The Upcycle Stage, located in the Q Deck area of Museum Gazhane, brought together festival participants with inspiring events such as interviews, concerts and short film screenings. Subject experts and festival participants came together at Upcycle Istanbul Talks, which was held in partnership with PlumeMag, one of Türkiye's sustainability-focused platforms.
In this context, our ÇEVKO Foundation General Secretary Mete İmer answered the questions of PlumeMag founder Bihter Ayyıldız. "Cleaning? Not polluting?" In the conversation titled "Our General Secretary Mete İmer shared information about Extended Producer Responsibility and Circular Economy with the audience. Answering the questions from the audience, İmer gave examples of what we can do individually and drew attention to the importance of separating at the source.
Our Environmentalist Cat ÇEVKİ mascot attracted great attention from both children and adults in the festival area, where the ÇEVKO Foundation stand was also located.
