It was an excellent month in Turkiye as we managed to conclude the Impact Assessment Workshop series by conducting the Impact Assessment workshop for End of Waste Textiles in Ankara. It was a really good event and well received by the delegates from the sector.
It was great to catch up with Mathias Gustavsson and Amanda Martvill from IVL in Sweden. They have been taking the lead on the textile component of the technical assistance project and have done an excellent job of preparing the end of waste criteria for textile waste.
We were joined at the event by the usual project team, led by my excellent project national lead Mr Oguzhan Akinc, and the Ministry team, led by Ms Ozlem Yilmaz.
We had a new team member to introduce at the event as we were joined for the first time by Mr Utku Varol, Sustainability Manager, Sun Textiles, Izmir. He was a excellent ambassador for Sun Textile and provided great insight into the textile sector in Turkiye.
