Burkasan Waste Management and Environmental Consultancy, headquartered in Bursa, operates in the fields of waste management and recycling in 11 facilities, including one in Bulgaria. Providing integrated waste management services to over 300 industrial organizations in many provinces of Turkey, Burkasan has invested over 70 million TL in the waste management sector in the last five years.
Stating that they are preparing to commission their 12th facility by the end of the year, Birhan Denktaş, General Manager of Burkasan Waste Management and Environmental Consultancy, said that Turkey has entered a different lane in the field of recycling with the Zero Waste Project and the amendments made to the Environmental Law. Denktaş said, “The future of the sector lies in technological facility investments. Therefore, our duty as its representatives from now on is to research the world well and bring technological facilities that will contribute to our future to our country.”
Realized the first closed circuit waste management investment
Emphasizing that Burkasan has grown with its investments in the recycling sector, Birhan Denktaş stated that they brought Turkey’s first closed-circuit and automated electronic waste recycling facility to Turkey with an investment of 20 million TL in 2014.
Denktaş said, “I believe that this facility is an important milestone in the construction of our electronic waste recycling system, both due to its technological infrastructure and the fact that it is the first of its kind in Turkey. Our facility performs a recycling process in accordance with world standards and our country’s environmental legislation with its gas and degreasing units, high capacity crushers, dust collectors, activated carbon filters, CFC condensate unit, isolation house, security measures and automatic separators. With this method, we have processed and recycled over 400 thousand electronic wastes in our facility so far.”
