Turkey is the largest destination for European Union (EU-27) exports of recyclable raw materials outside the bloc, with shipments amounting to some 12 million metric tons in 2023. Annual waste exports to Turkey have doubled since 2015. That year, the EU shipped the majority of its waste to China, but exports to the Asian country have fallen substantially since China imposed a ban on most waste materials in 2018.
