• We provide services that facilitate recovery and at the same time encourage recycling in order to prevent marine pollution by collecting the wastes of ships arriving at our port, to minimize the damage to the environment and human health, and to contribute to the country's economy.

• Within the scope of the regulations, priority is given to recycling and recovering by storing all wastes separately and temporarily according to their categories. Wastes that cannot be recovered or recycled are sent to disposal facilities licensed by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization to be disposed of in a way that will not harm the environment and human health, or to be used as a supplementary energy source.

• The disposal and recycling of wastes is ensured from start to end by conforming to the general principles and norms of the regulations without endangering the environment or human health.

• Methods and processes that do not harm the environment or human health are used, planned, and studies are conducted in this regard during waste separation, collection, recovery, and disposal. As a result, dangers to humans, plants, animals, water, air, and soil are avoided, as are noise, vibration, and odor disturbances, as well as impacts on the natural ecosystem.
