Font size

While plastic pollution and waste management discussions are on the agenda again before the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31) to be held in Antalya, hosted by Turkey; NEW Party Adana Deputy Bilal Bilici drew attention to the environmental hazard posed by the waste brought to Turkey from Europe via Mersin Port and processed in facilities in Adana.

"IT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO HARM THE TOURISM POTENTIAL"

Emphasizing that Adana is one of the important agricultural centers of Turkey, Bilici used the following statements:

"Most of the imported waste brought from Europe via Mersin Port is processed in the facilities in Adana. However, Adana is the agricultural city of Turkey, the heart of Çukurova. Our city should be remembered for its local delicacies, agricultural products, historical and cultural riches, not as an imported garbage warehouse. These activities should not be allowed to harm Adana's tourism potential. We have to protect Adana's soil, water and future."

“ILLEGAL AND UNAUTHORIZED FACILITIES SHOULD BE CLOSED”

Stating that illegal and unauthorized recycling facilities should be closed, Bilici requested that the facilities whose activities are allowed be concentrated in certain regions, except for agriculture and tourism areas.

Bilici emphasized that purification and water reuse systems should be established in these facilities, non-recyclable wastes should be disposed of safely and contaminated water should be prevented from mixing with agricultural lands. He also called for early fire systems and automatic extinguishing devices to be made mandatory.

Open Questions

  • ?It was not specified which countries the imported waste came from.
  • ?The capacity and transaction volume of the existing facilities in Adana were not disclosed.
