WASTE DISPOSAL IN TURKEY
SUZAN MEHMET GÖNÇ VOCATIONAL AND TRADE ANATOLIAN HIGH SCHOOL
GERMANY, 23-25 FEBRUARY 2015
Waste
Also known as rubbish, trash, refuse, garbage, junk… is unwanted or useless materials.
Wastes
Fruits/Vegetables
Plastics
Paper
Bottles
Cans
Kinds of WastesSolid wastes: wastes in solid forms, domestic,
commercial and industrial wastes
Examples: plastics, bottles,cans, papers…
Liquid Wastes: wastes in liquid form
Examples: domestic washings, chemicals, oils…
Classification of Wastes According to Their Biodegradability
Bio-degradable can be degraded in nature
(paper, wood, fruits)
Non-biodegradablecannot be degraded in nature
(plastics, bottles, old machines, cans)
Classification of Wastes According toTheir Effects on Human Health and the Environment
Hazardous wastesSubstances unsafe to use commercially, industrially, agriculturally, or economically.
They have any of the following properties- ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity & toxicity.
Non-hazardous Substances safe to use commercially, industrially, agriculturally, or economically.
They don’t have any of those properties mentioned above.
Sources of Wastes
Households
Commerce and Industry
How Much Waste Do We Create?
Each person generates ~ 2.7 kg of waste each day all over th world.
The total amount of waste collected in Turkey is 24.4 million tons per year in 2012.
12.7 (~ %52) million tons of waste was directly disposed of in landfills.
0.3 million tons were treated in composting facilities.
IMPACTS OF WASTE IF NOT MANAGED
1- Affects our health
2- Affects our socio-economic conditions
3- Affects our coastal and marine environment
4- Affects our climate
Impacts of waste on health- Chemical poisoning through chemical inhalation
- Uncollected waste can lead to flood
- Cancer
- Congenital malformations
- Neurological disease
Effects of Waste on Animals and Aquatics Life
- Increase in mercury level in fish due to disposal of mercury in the rivers.
- Plastic found in oceans ingested by birds.
- Resulted in high algal population in rivers and sea.
- Degrades water and soil quality.
Impacts of Waste on Environment
- Waste breaks down in landfills to form methane, a potent greenhouse gas (GHGs)
- GHGs lead to change in climate
- Leads to leaching: is a process by which solid waste enter soil and ground water and contaminating them.
U.S. Environment Protection Agency (2009)
It is estimated that;
«The food wasted by the US and Europe could feed the world three times over.»
Every tons of food waste prevented has the potential to save 4.2 tons of CO2 equivalent.
The Problem
More People+ More Waste
= Less Available Landfill Space
The 3Rs Rule
REDUCE
REUSE
RECYCLE
The Solution
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
1- Reduce Waste
- Reduce office paper waste by using both sides.
- Redesign packaging to eliminate excess materials.
- Work with customers to design and implement a packaging return program.
...
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE2- Reuse
- Reuse office furniture and supplies, such as envelopes, file folders, and paper.
- Use durable towels, tablecloths, dishes, cups, and glasses.
- Encourage employees to reuse office materials rather than new ones.
- Donate old books, old clothes, old computers …
3- Recycling
Wastes = Resources
RECYCLING PLANTS IN TURKEY
Hazardous Wastes 3 hazardous waste landfills in Turkey.
İZAYDAŞ (İzmit)ERDEMİR (Ereğli)İSKEN (İskenderun)
In 2007, only İZAYDAŞ utilized 160 000 m3 hazardous waste.
Waste Oil
- It is estimated that the amount of waste oil generated every year is approximately 150,000 tons in Turkey.
Used Batteries and AccumulatorsNumber of produced each year
Number recycled
Batteries 10 000 tons 200 tons (2%)
Accumulators 74 000 tons 45 474 tons (67%)
Medical Waste
According to data of year 2006 (Ministry of Health),
91,323 tons of medical waste was generated each year.
In 2008, 12 681 tons of medical waste (14% of the total) had been sterilized.
4 tons of medical waste is sterilized each day.
End of Life Tyres (ELT)
284,800 ton ELT is recycled in each year (30% of the total amount).
LIQUID WASTE RECYCLING PLANTS
In our city, Ankara, about 1 million m3 sewage is treated each day.
SOLID WASTE RECYCLING PLANTS Paper, plastic and glasses are recycled solid
wastes.
Solid Waste Conversion Plants.
This area was a dump area about 10 years ago.
The genereted methane gas is converted to electrical energy and some heat is produced as a by-product.
This heat is used to heat the water.
This water is used to heat the greenhouses.
As this area was a dump area the soil quality is very low.
So they cultivate plants without land.
They put the seeds in bags with inorganic substrats like perlit.
Or they use water cultures.
