Zero Waste Forum 2026 offered me the opportunity to explore sustainability from a broader perspective and exchange ideas with professionals from different disciplines.Held at Istanbul Atatürk Airport on 5–6 June 2026, the forum brought together public institutions, academics, young people, civil society representatives and international speakers. I attended alongside Türkiye’s Climate Ambassadors and followed discussions on zero waste, circular economy, climate diplomacy and youth participation in climate action.

Throughout the event, I engaged with speakers and institutional representatives, shared my sustainability-focused design approach and gained new perspectives on the relationship between design, environmental responsibility and social impact.

The experience reinforced my belief that industrial design extends beyond product development. It can influence resource use, production systems and everyday behaviours, creating more resilient and responsible solutions.

Zero Waste Forum 2026 became an important space for learning, exchange and future collaboration, and the ideas I gained will continue to shape my work in sustainable design.
