Within the scope of the Circular, it was announced that the “Zero Waste Project” was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly and March 30 was declared as “International Zero Waste Day”. The Circular emphasized the importance of establishing and implementing a zero-waste management system in buildings, campuses, and local administrations within the scope of the Zero Waste Project.
Accordingly, it has been indicated that deficiencies in buildings and campuses, and local administrations that do not establish a zero-waste system, and do not obtain a zero-waste certificate and/or do not effectively implement a zero-waste management system despite having a zero-waste certificate, will be eliminated.
Necessary audits and follow-up will be carried out meticulously, and administrative sanctions will be imposed on those who refrain from fulfilling their obligations.
