Description:

The units that produce organic waste on campus are the refectory, canteen, and cafés. Food service in the
university is outsourced. The contracted companies indicated below manage the disposal of organic wastes
from landfills in regular periods. They collect the organic waste. All the waste oils obtained on the campus are
used in Biodiesel production.
Organic Waste Information of The Contracted Companies:


• Aker Cafeteria Halkali Campus: Single Recycling Vegetable Waste Oil Collection and Handling,
Storege Trading Limited Company.

• Arzu Gida (Arzu Food): Vatan Vegetable Waste Oil – Recycling Export Industry and Trading Limited
Company

• Dilek Pastanesi (Dilek Patisserie): Nevbio Bio Vegetable Oil Storege and Transport Industry and

There are nearly 7000 trees on our campus. The large amount of branch and leaf wastes generated from pruning
and maintenance processes are turned into sawdust with a sawdust-making machine. Then, mulch is turned into
fertilizer after necessary procedures. The fertilizer obtained is used at tree bottoms. Thus, trees and other plants
are fed with natural, organic fertilizers that are much healthier. These wastes are recycled, both saving and
contributing to the environment. In addition, by eliminating the storage problem
the risk of fire is also reduced.
