Turkey to install fandomats for reception of used packagings

June 21, 2024

Under the "Zero Waste in Turkey" programme, the first 5,000 fandomats are planned to be installed as from 1 January 2025. Bottles of water, soda, cola and other beverages from 100 ml to 3 liters can be handed over for 25 chickens per piece. An electronic wallet will be opened for receiving payments for used packaging via Türkiye Emlak Katılım Bankası. The accumulated money can be used for shopping.

The programme is managed by the Turkish Environmental Protection Agency under the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change. The DYS system was originally planned to be introduced on January 1, 2021, but the preparation process was delayed for various reasons. 

Turkey consumes 20 billion glass, plastic and aluminum beverage packages annually. Representatives of the Ministry said that the collection of used containers would make the economy profit annually up to 500 million euros.

Some representatives of the sector consider that the return fee for one container in 25 chickens is too low and should be 1 lira.
