Plastic/Recycling Facility Fires
We prepared a map with information obtained from news sources that everyone can easily access within the project’s scope.The fire counter, which has been active for about two years, lists the facility fires shown on the map below. Although there have been various reports on the subject in many media outlets, fires continue. You can also report plastic or plastic recycling facility fires that you think are not listed below. For this, you can upload the links of the fire, which was proving and shared in publicly accessible bodies (social media, newspaper, magazine, etc.), to info@mikroplastik.org with your views.
