Zero Waste Management System - Qualified Document Criteria Training

ZERO WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - QUALIFIED DOCUMENT CRITERIA TRAINING
TRUE Zero Waste Certificate Criteria 


In order to increase the livability of the world and to effectively combat climate change, the Zero Waste Approach has been adopted to achieve the goal of efficient waste management and protection of natural resources within the scope of the 'Sustainable Development Goals' put forward by the United Nations. In the training we have planned, the concept of Zero Waste, its economic and social benefits, implementation steps and Zero Waste Legislation in our country will be discussed. The criteria that the sectors, which are required to obtain a 'Zero Waste Qualified Certificate' in the future in accordance with the legislation, will be required to meet in order to fulfill these requirements will be explained with the content of the TRUE Zero Waste Certification issued by the international certification body Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI), which is the main focus of the training. In addition to the Zero Waste Approach, the training will briefly cover Hazardous Waste Management and Occupational Health and Safety Basic Requirements in Waste Management in order to raise awareness. 

PURPOSE OF TRAINING

Within the scope of the Zero Waste Legislation in force in our country, it is aimed to explain the criteria to be met in order to obtain the Basic Level in the first stage, then the Silver, Gold and Platinum Level Zero Waste Qualified Certificates, which must be obtained in the following years, and the necessary steps to be followed in institutions, organizations and enterprises, and to provide the participants with the necessary information for the establishment of the Zero Waste Management System. Participants who complete the training will have information on how to establish and maintain the Zero Waste Management System in their enterprises and what needs to be done to meet the criteria for transition to a qualified certificate.
