Kacır calls for faster green transition in Turkish industry
Türkiye must accelerate the adoption of green production, circular-economy and zero-waste practices while pursuing higher-value and high-tech manufacturing, Industry and Technology Minister Mehmet Fatih Kacır has said.
Kacır spoke at the launch of “Zero Waste at the Poles”, a book prepared jointly by the Zero Waste Foundation and TÜBİTAK’s Polar Research Institute.
“While transforming Turkish industry with a focus on high technology and added value, we also have a responsibility to rapidly introduce green production, the circular economy and zero-waste practices,” he said.
Kacır said the publication brought together two national initiatives launched in 2017: Türkiye’s Zero Waste Initiative and its polar science expeditions.
