In the project implemented in three pilot schools, Bornova Suphi Koyuncuoğlu Anatolian High School, Bornova Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School and Bornova Fatih Sultan Mehmet Primary School, a “zero waste management system” was established, which ensures that waste is collected separately at source and converted into economic value. With the training programs and awareness activities organized within the scope of the project, it is aimed to raise sustainable consumption habits in students.
