Stating that the environment is not a heritage but a trust, Orçan said, “Even though we seem sensitive to the environment in the geography we live in, we actually pollute a lot.”

Explaining that they set out with this project while thinking about what to do for a more livable environment, Orçan underlined that with the momentum they achieved, the point reached in Europe was reached in one and a half years, and that the project would reach its full goal by changing habits over time.

Tatlısu Mayor Hayri Orçan stated that the most important thing in the project is not the regular collection of garbage, but the economic evaluation of the garbage, adding that the most dangerous is glass waste, they can stay in nature for 2,000 years, and that they are the biggest causes of forest fires.

Orçan stated that with this project, the glasses were collected and turned into sand with the high-capacity glass grinding machine, which is the only one on the island, given to them by the Presidency, and that the glass that became sand was brought back into the economy by making parquet and laying it under the pavement.

Orçan noted that some of the collected waste is recycled and some of it is exported, contributing to the country’s economy.
