Within the scope of the By-law on Packaging Waste Control (PWC), “Packaging Information Sys-
tem” has been established by the MoEUCC in order to create an inventory on packaging and
packaging waste. The users of the system are the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and
Climate Change, Provincial Directorates of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, pa-
ckaging producers, suppliers, enterprises placing their products on the market with packaging,
packaging waste collection, sorting, recycling and recovery facilities, authorised institutions and
municipalities. Since 2005, all data such as production, sales and recycling quantities of packa-
ging from packaging producers, marketers of packaged products and licensed enterprises have
started to be recorded by the MoEUCC.

Since 2012, the Packaging Statistics newsletter includes data on packaging producers, marke-
ters, suppliers, licensed enterprises that collect-separate and recycle/recover packaging wastes,
packaging produced, imported, exported, supplied, placed on the market with packaging, pac-
kaging wastes collected-separated and recycled, and data on packaging waste management in
municipalities.

On the other hand, within the scope of the By-law on Packaging Waste Control published in the
Official Gazette dated 26.06.2021 and 31523, data on packaging producers, marketers and supp-
liers, packaging produced, imported, exported, supplied, packaging placed on the market will
be included in the Packaging Statistics bulletin to be prepared starting from 2023, and data on
packaging wastes will be published under the Non-Hazardous Waste Statistics Bulletin.

Furthermore, since 2008, data on packaging and packaging waste have been officially published
in annual bulletins in February.

Starting from 2021 statistics, it has been decided to produce packaging waste statistics from
the declarations in the Waste Declaration System, which is carried out under the responsibi-
lity of the General Directorate of EIA, Permit and Inspection of the MoEUCC. In this context, the
amounts of packaging waste declared by waste generators in the Waste Management Applica-
tion waste declaration system in 2021 are given in the following table.
