Waste-Free Kıtchen WorkshopHaberler
Within the scope of our project titled "Sport for Healthy Life (Sport4HealthyLife)" within the scope of the European Solidarity Corps (ESC), we organized a "Waste-Free Kitchen Workshop" to draw attention to the Waste-Free Kitchen with our volunteers from Turkey, Italy, Macedonia and Jordan who volunteered in Sorgun.
For a Waste-Free Kitchen, we need to consciously control our waste management. Why? To make our world more sustainable. Waste-free living is actually not a very demanding and challenging process. If we are determined, if we plan our shopping and buy as much as we need, if we prefer products that we are sure are recycled and if we separate waste for recycling at home, we will take the first step towards a waste-free life.
Waste Statistics in Turkey
In 2020, according to the rates published by TurkStat, waste services were provided in 1,387 out of 1,389 municipalities. Municipalities collected 32.3 million tons of waste. The average amount of waste collected per person per day was calculated as 1.13 kg. In some sources, it is written that these data will increase to 104.8 million in 2021. We see that the rate of waste is increasing day by day with a rapid rise.
Every year, 1.3 billion tons of food goes to waste in the world. Research shows that if just a quarter of that food was saved, it could feed 870 million hungry people.
