In Turkey, 9-10% of waste is sent to recycling facilities according

to OECD, while it’s 10-12% according to TÜİK (Turkish Statistical

Institute, translator’s note).

But, according to what

Associate Professor

Sedat Gündoğdu from

Çukurova University

and Microplastics

Research Group has

conveyed, only 1% of

plastics in Turkey

were recycled in

2015.

Despite Turkey cannot deal with its own plastic, it is on course of

being “the dustbin of the US” according to the description of the

Chamber of Environmental Engineers.

The first synthetic polymer, aka plastic, is

invented in 1869 by John Wesley Hyatt for a

contest.

The most important detail we have to know

about plastics is this: Artificial plastics are

produced as a side product of petrol. So,

the common suspect of all trouble that exists

on environmentalism confronts us about

plastic too.
