A new era in the Environmental Neighbor Card

Muratpa?a, Antalya

The Environmentalist Neighbor Card project, celebrating the 5th anniversary of Muratpa?a Municipality, started as a pilot study in two neighborhoods in April 2016. With the project, which started to be implemented in the entire district in a short time, approximately 16 million 113 thousand kilograms of qualified waste were collected from homes in 5 years. Muratpa?a residents earned 5 million 190 thousand liras with the qualified waste consisting of glass, paper, plastic and metal they did not throw away. Muratpa?a residents separated qualified domestic wastes such as glass, paper and plastic at their source and delivered them to the Environmentalist Neighbor Card teams passing through the street at the specified day and time. Muratpas members earned points that they can spend in contracted markets, bakeries, and donate to students as scholarships in return for their sorting. Points have been loaded on Green Neighbor Cards. Muratpa?a Municipality has collected 15 million 543 thousand 241 kilograms of qualified waste from the homes between April 2016 and the end of December 2020 with the Environmental Neighbor Card. Turkey's first and only award-winning recycling project, which forms the basis of the "Zero Waste" project carried out by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, started in a brand new period with the Green Neighbor Card in the new year. The Environmentalist Neighbor Card, which could only be used in contracted markets and bakeries in the past years, gained the "money card" feature in the new year. In the new era, the Environmentally Friendly Neighbor Card has now become used wherever there is a credit card pos device, without the limit of member businesses. In addition, it became possible to withdraw environmentalist points in cash from any ATM in the new period.
