ASLAN "ONE OF TURKEY'S LARGEST FOOD PRODUCTION PROJECTS"

     Stating that they have implemented one of the largest formula production projects in Turkey with a daily production capacity of 3 tons, Seyfettin Aslan, Head of Health Affairs Department, made the following statements:
"Restaurant leftovers are always on the agenda for feeding stray animals, but it is not always possible to separate objects such as plastic forks, knives, toothpicks and cigarette butts from the food collected in practice. This is why it is important for large institutions and organizations to make use of surplus food, which is called boiler bottom. As Ankara Metropolitan Municipality, we have established this facility in order to utilize the leftovers from the bottom of the boiler. At the same time, we cooperate with the Public Bread Factory to collect non-standard bread and dry bread that cannot be sold. In the first stage, we started trial production with 1 ton per day. Thanks to our own food production, we will save 3.5 million TL per year and use this amount to meet other needs of street animals."
CALL TO RESTAURANTS, CAFES, PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS AND FOOD FACTORIES

     Aslan called on all private and public institutions and organizations, from restaurants to cafes, and food production factories to give their food waste to the Metropolitan Municipality:
"There are many private and public institutions and organizations in Ankara. If these institutions and organizations give us their boiler bottom food scraps, we will turn them into food and use them for feeding stray animals. Organizations that want to give their surplus food can contact the Metropolitan Municipality."
