Waste Management and Legal Obligations

Waste management is not only an environmental issue. It is also a legal obligation. It also bears directly on human health and the use of resources. This is because poorly managed waste pollutes soil, air and water. That pollution, in turn, threatens both the environment and public health.

Scrap Danışmanlık offers businesses end-to-end solutions. We set up processes in line with the legislation. Our aim is clear: waste management should be not a burden, but a corporate responsibility and a source of brand value.

Why is waste management important?

The benefits can be grouped under three headings.

• Environmental protection: you manage hazardous and non-hazardous waste in line with the legislation. This reduces the pressure you put on the natural environment.
• Public health: medical, chemical and electronic waste harm human health. Regular disposal removes this risk.
• Economic gain: recyclable material returns to the economy. As a result, the waste of resources is reduced.

Legal obligations and legislation

In Türkiye, waste management is governed by Environmental Law No. 2872 and the Waste Management Regulation. Other related regulations also apply. The main obligations of businesses are as follows:

• Waste declaration: you submit a declaration every year through the Environmental Information System.
• Working with a licensed company: you have collection, transport and disposal carried out only by a licensed company.
• Records and documents: you support every step with documents and keep them ready for inspection.

A business that fails to comply with the legislation faces administrative fines. Suspension of operations and criminal sanctions may also come into play. For this reason, follow-up must not be neglected. For current fine amounts, you can refer to the communique on administrative fines.
