Unfortunately, most waste products consist of plastics. Animals mistake the food material and consume it. This results in them choking on plastic and losing their lives. A recent incident has been reported where a dead body of a whale was found at a sea beach. 

On detailed inspection, it was found that the stomach of the whale was filled with plastic. Plastic also has a number of other disadvantages as well. The Turkish company has aimed to put an end to all these problems.

Stray Dogs’ Food Crisis Addressed By Turkish Company

The initiative from Pugedon ensures one thing for sure. No more stray dogs will have to remain hungry. The vending machine works instantly if you put a plastic bottle inside it. The area to dispose of the plastic is located at the top of the machine. 

The area where the food is served is at the bottom. This makes it easy for the animals to munch on nutritious food. The food cost of the food items is covered from recycled plastics. The machine also has room for pouring water for the birds and the strays. 

Any excess water from the bottles can be poured into the bowl before disposing of them. Pugedon has aimed for a zero-waste policy for their initiative. This makes the vending machine a fantastic step towards a better and greener society.
