ZERO WASTE DISTRICTS

About the Platform

The Zero Waste Districts platform is being prepared in connection with the project proposal “Zero Waste Districts: From Kahta to Türkiye – From Zero to Zero Waste”, submitted by Kahta Municipality under the Zero Waste Grant Programme.

If selected for funding, the platform will support the sharing of technical and operational experience, practical guidance, tools and good practices generated through the Kahta zero-waste model with other municipalities.

This platform is currently under development.

PROJECT APPROACH

Awareness and practical activities involving schools, university, mosques, markets and citizens.
