Zero Waste Data Entries

Dear Member,
With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by the Provincial Directorate of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change of the Governorship of Elazığ, the Zero Waste Regulation, which covers the procedures and principles regarding the establishment of the zero waste management system and the issuance of the zero waste certificate, aims to establish an effective zero waste management system and issue zero waste certificates in order to prevent waste generation, to minimise waste where prevention is not possible, to prioritise reuse, to use resources efficiently, to collect waste separately at source, to establish an effective collection system and to ensure the recycling/recovery of waste. In line with the implementation schedule for the places specified in the annex of the Zero Waste Regulation, it is mandatory for them to switch to the zero waste management system and obtain a zero waste certificate by meeting the preconditions set out in the annex of the regulation.

rest facilities, shopping centres, municipalities, educational institutions and dormitories, business centres and commercial
plazas, cafeterias and restaurants (over 400 m2), public institutions and organisations, health institutions, special provincial administration, airports, cargo companies, accommodation establishments, laboratories, law offices, associations, cooperatives, environmental consultancy firms and professional organisations, organisations with legal personality, train and bus terminals, organised industrial zones, free zones and industrial estates, and places selling packaged products within the scope of the distance contracts regulation, which have not applied for a Zero Waste Certificate, must be informed by the relevant institutions and organisations and must urgently establish the Zero Waste Management System and obtain their Zero Waste Certificates.

Buildings and campuses that have established a zero waste management system and obtained a zero waste certificate, pursuant to subparagraph ( i ) of Article 10
