90% of waste consists of plastic waste. Out of this 90%, only 1% is recyclable and 99% remains in environment.
If in Turkey, 1 people out of 5 uses paper bags, they would contribute throughout their lives, 31.0460.400.000 less plastic bags.
Recycling of paper for re-usage would contribute to the environment as decreasing the air pollution by 74%, water pollution by 35%, water usage by 45%
In Istanbul, 10.000 tons of waste is collected. 1.000 tons of it is plastic materials.
It needs approximately 1.000 year to disappear a plastic bag which we use only 15 minutes.
As a result of recycling 1 ton paper waste, 16 grown tree and 85 sqm forest area would be saved.
