The deposit system wanted to be implemented is a part of Turkey’s new and integrated environmental policy which began with the “Zero Waste Project” in 2017. Project seeks to implement waste segregation at source, reduce and recycle waste. In this context, Republic of Turkey as Europe's third-largest municipal solid waste producer has set a goal of 60% recovery and 55% recycling rates until 31/12/2025 in order to gain the packaging wastes to the economy by a regulation. The regulation named “By-Law on the Control of Packaging Waste” determined the rates of recovery and recyling rates as at least %65 until 31/12/2030 and also at least %70 after 31/12/2030. These ambitious goals are harmonised with the countries implementing deposit system. However important steps must be taken in order to achieve the stated targets compared to the current situation. Perhaps the most important one of these steps will be the transition to the deposit system as soon as possible. In this study, first of all the general characteristics of the deposit fee to be paid to the consumer within the deposit system will be determined. Afterwards, the countries which have realized the same issue will be evaluated. Then Turkish deposit system will be evaluated by means of fiscal and environmental policies. In the final chapter, suggestions to the problems will be made which can be encountered before and during the implementation.
