Questioning what is worth saving or not, Çöp(m)adam started as an experimental project in Ayvalık addressing  the issues of women’s employment in Turkey and the importance of recycling/re-using. çöp(m)adam aims to utilize waste in a creative, aesthetically and unique way.

çöp(m)adam Project is realized in cooperation with Unilever Turkey.
