First Lady Sajidha Mohamed has attended the opening of the Zero Waste Museum in Türkiye, held on the sidelines of the COP31 Summit, highlighting the importance of sustainable practices and environmental conservation.

The museum showcases the nine-year journey of the Zero Waste Movement, featuring its achievements in Türkiye and internationally, as well as initiatives promoting recycling, resource conservation and the circular economy.

Its exhibitions highlight the environmental impact of waste and demonstrate how discarded materials can be reused and transformed into valuable resources and works of art. The museum also features interactive displays, digital applications and artistic installations.

During her visit, the First Lady toured the exhibitions and shared messages for the future on the museum's ‘2035 Wish Wall’.

She also visited the ‘Pledge Tree’, built around an olive tree more than 30 years old, where visitors are invited to record their environmental commitments on leaf-shaped cards.

The museum serves as a platform to showcase Türkiye's experience in promoting zero waste and raise international awareness about responsible resource management, recycling and sustainable development.
