The Zero Waste Museum was inaugurated on November 12 on the sidelines of the 31st session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP31), held in Antalya, Turkiye.

Axar.az reports that Leyla Aliyeva, Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, and Alyona Aliyeva attended the opening ceremony, along with the spouses of heads of state and government participating in COP31, representatives of international organisations, and members of the UN Secretary-General’s Advisory Board on Zero Waste.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by the event's participants.

Established by Turkiye's Zero Waste Foundation as part of COP31, the museum showcases the development of the Zero Waste Project, launched in 2017, at both national and international levels.

The museum aims to raise public awareness about extending the lifespan of everyday items, conserving natural resources, and reducing waste.

The experience presented at the museum is also expected to be promoted internationally, contributing to the adoption of zero-waste practices in different countries.
