Abstract

Turkey was required to put compatible legislation on packaging waste management in accordance with EC directives. These legal directives forced the local authorities to carry out separate collection projects for packaging waste all over the country. Packaging Waste Separate Collection Program “PWSCP” for Küçükçekmece District, Istanbul, Turkey was evaluated within the framework of the local governments’ legislation in this study. The implementation of the project using the informative and educative seminars, initial collection practises and initial findings was technically and socially evaluated with respect to local awareness. This program involves separate collection of recyclable packaging materials, whereby households are requested to sort their packaging waste and local authorities are in charge for collection and follow-up. The initials results were presented using the amount and contents of packaging waste collected in the area. This new and functional project's future stages were also briefly given. A survey was conducted to analyze satisfaction and recycling level of the households. The results showed that this project was successfully implemented in the area.
