DMM rejects the claims that 'Europe is dumping its garbage on Turkey'

In the post made on DMM's social media account, "The posts saying 'Europe dumps its garbage on Turkey' in some media outlets and social media accounts contain heavy manipulation that distorts the facts."

It is strictly prohibited to enter Turkey for disposal purposes, hazardous materials or non-recyclable garbage. Only clean, source-separated waste to be used as raw material in industry is allowed to be imported into our country for processing in licensed facilities.

Any shipment that does not comply with the standards is not allowed to enter our country; Immediate return to the country of origin is provided. Accepted loads are monitored instantly by tracking systems from the customs point until they reach the facility. Inspections are continued with the principle of zero tolerance against facilities and centers that violate environmental legislation.

By distorting the subject; The fact that it is brought to the agenda especially before the COP31 Climate Summit, which Turkey will host, clearly shows that it is a malicious perception exercise. "We are kindly requested not to rely on such unfounded and misleading content targeting our country, which pioneers environmental policies on a global scale with the Zero Waste Movement, and to rely only on the official statements of competent institutions and authorities."
