MoTAT is an online system prepared for the purpose of recording information on each waste
transportation process of wastes within the scope of the Communiqué on the Transportation
of Waste on Roads and imported plastic waste at the source, monitoring waste-loaded vehicles
while they are in motion and effectively supervising waste transportation processes.

The mobile devices on waste transport vehicles enable monitoring of waste-loaded vehicles
while they are in motion and effective control of waste transport operations. The waste tracking
process begins with the waste producer filling in the electronic waste transport form on MoTAT.
In each waste transport, the transport route, waste loading and unloading points, coordinates
and timestamp are recorded in the database with a distinctive transport number.

Considering that the waste producer is responsible for the waste during the transportation of
the waste and until the recovery/final disposal, MoTAT, which effectively supports the imp-
lementation of waste management legislation, constitutes an example for the application of
geographic information systems in environmental management. With this system, hazardous
waste is recorded online via mobile devices in vehicles and monitored on maps. In addition, as
of 2020, plastic waste imported within the scope of the Waste Import Circular (waste codes
120105, 150102, 200139, 191204 and 070213) has also been included in the MoTAT Application. In
this context, 18 million tons of hazardous waste since 2018 and 1 million tons of imported plastic
