Mauser Packaging Solutions' Gebze, Turkey Facility Earns Zero Waste Certificate
29 January 2021

Mauser Packaging Solutions is pleased to announce that its facility in Gebze, Turkey received a Zero Waste Certificate for its efforts reducing, preventing, and recycling waste within its operations.

 

The Zero Waste Certificate was awarded by Turkey’s Ministry of Environment and Urban Planning as part of its “Zero Waste” regulation. The Zero Waste regulation was introduced in 2019 with the goal of protecting the environment, human health, and natural resources. The waste management approach focuses on the prevention of waste, efficient usage of resources, establishment of an effective collection system, and recycling of waste.

 

In order to receive this certificate, the Gebze facility was evaluated by the Provincial Directorate of Environment and Urbanization to ensure that all criteria for zero waste were met. The facility provided evidence of waste classification by type, proper waste removal, and implementation of employee environmental trainings, among other items.

 

This certificate is an exciting achievement for the facility and complement to its ISO 14001 Environmental Management System certification.  

 

Mauser Packaging Solutions strives to offer customers the most sustainable packaging solutions possible, and operating our own business in an environmentally sustainable way is an important part of that.
