After the processes, two types of raw materials are obtained in the form of flakes and granules. The raw materials, which are analyzed in the laboratory, are used in plastic industries in various countries, especially in Turkey.
At the facility, which operates with an environmentalist identity and zero waste principle, the water used during washing processes is also reused after various processes in the wastewater treatment unit at the facility.
Burkasan General Manager Birhan Denktaş said that they serve as a professional waste management company.
Stating that there is a serious demand for recycled raw materials, Denktaş said:
“By recycling PET and high-density polyethylene plastics, we produce a raw material that can be used as a substitute for the original material in the main industry. Pet material has many different areas of use. The most prominent of these is the textile industry. Pet bottles are used in polyester production. The pet bottles we produce are converted into fiber or yarn in textile enterprises and used as recycled raw material in many of the clothes. PET is also widely used in the packaging sector. High-density polyethylene is generally used in the packaging of products such as detergents and shampoos after recycling.”
Emphasizing that it is essential to produce recycled raw materials at maximum quality in order to turn them into a main product, a product that can be used in homes, Denktaş said that recycled raw materials can be used alone or with their originals in production.
