In late 2016, Kurdish farmer Izzettin Akman found himself confronting an unexpected situation when a truck dumped garbage near his citrus groves in Turkey. As flames from the ignited trash threatened to consume his crops, Akman battled the fire with water from a nearby stream. Upon inspecting the remnants, he was startled to discover various items branded in euros and pounds, highlighting a concerning trend where European waste finds its way to Turkey, presenting a stark contrast to his family's history of exporting fresh produce to Europe.
Akman kept clawing through the still-scalding plastic, looking for price labels. He found several. They were in euros and pounds.
