TEMA Vakfı's 'Zero Waste Education Project', implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, Ministry of National Education and Tetra Pak, has been awarded in the 'Environmental and Social Responsibility' category at the Green Dot Industry Awards organized by ÇEVKO for the fifth time this year.
