PROJECT

Hello to everyone,
We are entering the new year with beautiful projects. I told you we had a project last week. In this blog I will explain this project.
Our model
The problem is that lack of the small number of recycle bins in the environment, recycling cannot be done adequately and this increases our carbon footprint.
Survey results 33 people answered our survey. 85% of respondents know what recycling is. The ratio of those who have knowledge about recycling is quite high, but on the contrary; only 15% of respondents sort out their garbage. We think this is a big problem and we asked the participants what they think about the number of recycling bins. Nearly half of the respondents stated that there were not enough recycle bins in their environment. In addition, 40% of our participants said that they had done an upcycle before.
Model solution As a bat group, we thought that the small number of recycling bins was a serious problem. Based on the survey results, we concluded that almost half of the participants agreed with us. We need to increase the number of these recycling bins around us. Our Bat group plans the following practices in order to increase recycling.
1- Our target audience across the entire Turkey. So we will first invite the whole country for recycling. We will talk about our goals and share incentive posters on social media and raise awareness.
2- In line with our survey results, we will contact the municipalities in order to increase the inadequate recycling bins. We will start with Kayseri Büyükşehir Belediyesi. We will launch a challenge on social media and label municipalities. The municipalities will share data on how much they have increased these recycling bins and challenge each other. Thus we will reach the whole country
3- We should show people that they can design their own recycling bins. To this end, we will share videos and visuals that inspire recycle bin design.
4- In line with the survey results, we found that the rate of making upcycles that we found was insufficient. That’s why we’ll share visuals that encourage people to upcycle and raise them.

I want to add some news here In August 2019, Çankaya Belediyesi teams distributed recycling boxes and 222 interior boxes. Çankaya Belediyesi, which will implement the segregation of waste at source ’project in Yaşamkent, Alacaatlı and Dodurga neighborhoods, selected as a pilot region in October, will continue to collect packaging waste.

Vahit İŞBAŞARAN / LÜLEBURGAZ (Kırklareli), (DHA) – Lüleburgaz district of the town of Ahmetbey by the Municipality, the old election boxes were returned to schools as recycling bins.

Yaşar COŞKUN / SEYDİŞEHİR, (Konya) (DHA) – SEYDİŞEHİR Belediyesi placed waste collection boxes in schools in order to increase recycling awareness among students.

The main purpose of the bat group is to implement these and similar activities by all municipalities.
