                                Prosumer Economy Society was established in December 2015 by social entrepreneurs, civil society experts, researchers, scientists, ecology and human rights activists, financial technology and sustainability investors. Its purpose is to conduct research on ecologically and socially fair business models, strengthen and promote best practices, and inform the public about the positive effects of the prosumer economy on nature conservation and the construction of a sustainable society. Since its establishment, the society has been conducting various activities to establish a direct relationship between ecologically and socially fair producers and prosumers in different regions of Turkey, and to establish a sustainable, circular, and fair economy. Today, within the scope of the society’s impact, there are over 400 producers and more than 20,000 prosumers. Through https://turetimekonomisi.org/ you can reach the website.
