KRK Holding continues to set high standards in every sector in which it operates, thanks to the environment-friendly processes that it has put into use in order to leave a sustainable and livable world for future generations within the scope of its Sustainable Excellence manifesto.

In this context, within the scope of the '’Zero Waste Regulation'’ of the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization published in the Official Gazette with the number 30829 on 12 July 2019, KRK Holding became entitled to obtain the "Zero Waste Certificate" by rapidly realizing the related processes in which it participated as Özgün İnşaat and completing all necessary studies.

KRK Holding head office started the '’Zero Waste Project'’ in August 2021, and on 17 August 2021, Özgün İnşaat applied to the Istanbul Provincial Directorate of Environment and Urbanization and registered in the Integrated Environmental Information System and obtained authorization for online services.

On October 10, 2021, the procurement of Zero Waste related equipment and the construction of the Temporary Waste Storage Area were completed. On November 11, 2021, the environmental engineer Rojda SÜRMELİ gave the necessary training to the staff in the head office.

With the completion of the necessary preparations, an application was made to the relevant authority for the "Zero Waste Certificate" on 12 November 2021. From the beginning of the project until February 13, 2022, 3.5 tons of recyclable waste was separated at the source and delivered to the relevant institutions/organizations, bringing it to the country's economy and contributing to the protection of the environment.
