#plastic #recycling #adana | Sedat Gündoğdu | 10 comments This morning (21.09.2025), residents of Çukurova, Adana, woke up under a dark sky filled with toxic smoke. A fire broke out in an illegal #plastic waste depot located in Küçükdikili. These facilities ...

Another #plastics recycling facility on fire, this one hosting waste "exported" by the UK to Turkey. A terrible case of #wastecolonialism and a huge health hazard to those downwind and ultimately, all of us, as many of the pollutants will enter the food chain. www.linkedin.com/posts/sedat-...

Stop exporting problems. Start engineering profits.

#Wastecolonialism: the US using Canada & Mexico as trashcans. US law requires companies that produce hazardous waste to be legally responsible for managing it “cradle to grave”, but this responsibility stops at the border. Car batteries are shipped out of the US for lead recovery.

❌❌❌❌❌ Community consultation is insufficient, and complaints of harm are being made. In fact, claims that credits uplift the lives of wastepickers do not stand up. It further legitimises #wastecolonialism and place the burden for global north plastic use on the global south.

Yet another #BlackFriday... Many of the items bought impulsively will be discarded unused or barely used, fueling #WasteColonialism, burdening the Global South with our trash. Buy only that what you need.
