H.12. Implementation Innovations in the Environmental Field

H.12.1. Waste Management Implementation

Waste Management Application (ATYÖN) is an onli-
ne application prepared to track the process of was-
te generated in Türkiye from its source to the Waste
Processing Facilities online and is located under the
Integrated Environmental Information System of the
Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate
Change. The application provides service through the
e-government portal at https://ecbs.cevre.gov.tr/.

ATYÖN includes the Waste Declaration System
(TABS), Mobile Waste Tracking System (MoTAT) and Waste Management Implementation Scheme
Mass Balance System (KDS). TABS is the system in
which waste producers declare the waste generated
in their facilities and sent to waste processing facilities annually within the scope of the Waste
Management By-law. These declarations represent the declaration of the waste generated in
the year before the declaration year and include information on the status of these wastes as of
the end of the year (stock, sending for off-site recovery/disposal, export). Waste declarations are
made by waste producers in different NACE sectors at different economic scales, primarily in the
sectors of industry, service (market, restaurant, hotel, bank, etc.), health (hospital, clinic, dental
clinic, family health centre), public, etc.

The Waste Statistics Bulletin and the Medical Waste Statistics Bulletin are prepared using data
obtained from TABS. The bulletins are published on the official website of the Ministry of Envi-
ronment, Urbanization and Climate Change https://ced.csb.gov.tr/. In addition, TABS waste data
is presented to users via the dynamic reporting screen at the same address.
