The İzDönüşüm project, established under the leadership of İzmir Metropolitan Mayor Tunç Soyer, who continues to work with the aim of building an İzmir in harmony with nature, is growing. Within the scope of the project, which was initiated with the aim of turning waste into profit and improving the working conditions of waste collectors, companies and their products that recycle without labor exploitation will now be certified. 
İzDoğa, a company of İzmir Metropolitan Municipality, became the authorized institution to issue İzmir Transformation Certificate. Accredited by NAC (National Accreditation Centre), İzDoğa is entitled to be the certifying body for companies and their products that recycle without human exploitation. 
Companies that employ waste collectors in the production chain under good conditions and with insurance, and observe the health of their employees will be entitled to receive the İzmir Transformation Certificate after completing İzDoğa's certification audits. Recycling companies that receive the İzmir Recycling Certificate will prove to consumers that the products they put on the market are not subject to labor exploitation and thus increase the added value of their products. 
The certified organizations will be given the right to use the "İ" logo which has been specially prepared for this program to be used on their products. Thus, the İzmir Transformation Certificate will create a social security shield for street collectors, while protecting the environment and increasing the earnings of the organizations that receive this certificate.
