A new exhibition in Istanbul's Taksim Square is inviting visitors to explore the environmental and social impacts of waste while promoting sustainable living and responsible consumption as part of Türkiye's internationally recognized Zero Waste Initiative.
The "Zero Waste for a Sustainable Future" exhibition, prepared by the Zero Waste Foundation, presents interactive displays and educational experiences focusing on waste management, resource efficiency, circular economy practices and environmental sustainability.
Held under the auspices of Emine Erdoğan, founder of the Zero Waste Movement, chair of the United Nations High-Level Advisory Board on Zero Waste and honorary president of the Zero Waste Foundation, the exhibition aims to raise public awareness about the importance of reducing waste and preserving natural resources for future generations.
Speaking during a visit to the exhibition, Istanbul Governor Davut Gül said public interest in environmental issues has grown significantly in recent years, pointing to the success of the city's first Zero Waste Week, held from June 1 to 7.
According to Gül, more than 1,500 events were organized during the week, attracting approximately 1.5 million participants through workshops, educational programs, concerts and community activities.
