Recycling with deposit
DOA Deposit Management System
Return your deposit beverage packaging, contribute to recycling and collect your refund in your digital wallet.
What is DOA?
Small steps, big changes
DOA is the application that enables beverage packaging to be collected back under Türkiye’s Deposit Management System. When PET, glass and aluminium packaging bearing the deposit mark is brought to a return point, the refund is transferred to the user’s DOA digital wallet.
This way, packaging is collected clean and at source before it ends up in the bin, making high-quality recycling possible. With 35 years of packaging waste experience, Çankaya Katı Atık supports the sorting and recycling of the packaging collected.
