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.
