We will create genuine awareness among the public about the contribution of plastics to our lives. The campaign "Plastics have no place in nature, but have a big place in our lives," which was broadcast on television, radio and digital platforms on 3 January 2019 and reached the entire country, will be continued in 2020, and we aim to increase the number of people we reach," he said.
