PREVENTING WASTE

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, 1.3 billion tons of food are wasted each year, with a large portion occurring in households. Alanya Municipality is actively working on raising awareness in this important area by focusing on preventing waste and encouraging more conscious consumption through various projects. The Zero Waste Recipes competition highlighted the combination of local cuisine with zero waste principles, presenting traditional Alanya dishes in an environmentally friendly way that helps reduce waste.

This award is an important step in spreading the concept of zero waste in our kitchens and in promoting eco-friendly habits among the people of Alanya. We will continue to develop projects aimed at improving the environment and contributing to nature conservation for future generations. Our Climate Change and Zero Waste Department will continue working with educational and awareness projects to spread the concept of zero waste among the population."
