When is the recycling in turkey?

2. In 2009, Turkey made waves in water recycling. The aims of this recycling is to raise awareness of water issues across the manufacturing sector.
 * 1) In Mey 2006, The Koç School managed to develop partnerships with both the public and the private sectors and engaged young people from other institutions in the community. They use a wide range of communication media to promote and create awareness on the issue of waste, recycling and sustainable development.They have produced school desks from recycled juice and milk boxes. The desks were then donated to schools in underprivileged areas.

**Results**
The key results are:
 * Capture rainwater to supply the site's water needs, avoiding depletion of underground water resources.
 * Locally developed water recycling technologies play a key role in supplying the site's needs, with scope for the amount of water captured to increase with improving technology.
 * The need to draw water from underground reserves has been significantly reduced.

Every area is designed with an incline to ensure easy collection of rainwater, with drains placed at 24-meter intervals across the 33,200 square-meter roof and a system of continuous guttering delivering captured rainwater to underground storage tanks. These tanks have a capacity of 5,000 cubic meters, and meteorological forecasts of likely rainfall predict that the water gathered will entirely fulfil the site's water needs for between 60 and 85 days of the year. Gathering rainwater in this way prevents the need to draw water from scarce underground reserves.

Recycling Projects In Turkey == Turkey is closely [|following the Europe] concerned about recycling. In Turkey, lots of educational programs are being organized in order to increase the recycling rate.

To illustrate, the video,which is above, is frequently published on television in these days. Thus, people,who live in Turkey, have learned a lot of information about recycling and they are encouraged to contribute the recycling.

= = = = There are many companies which especially specialized in battery,packaging,rubber and metal recyling and new ones are being added to these companies every year.The standardization and regulation,which concerned about recycling, are increased. This increase helps our country in order to reach a better position. Although the system confronted some problems, overall the recycling sector has very bright future.

**Electrical and Electronic Waste in Turkey ** == ==

= = In Europe since 2003,WEE (-Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment) system has been used successfully. It has been devised to be used systematically and has developed in quality since.

In Turkey, since 2005,the Ministry of Environment and Forestry have been trying to encourage the utilization of the system but have witnessed obstacles and objection in the operative effect therefore delaying the date that it was planned to come into effect. This Project will provide many benefits to our country.
