Recycling is the process of reintegrating reusable waste into the production cycle through physical or chemical treatments.
This process consists of four key stages: collection, sorting, processing, and new product manufacturing. Through recycling, natural resources are preserved, environmental pollution is reduced, and significant savings in water and energy are achieved, minimizing dependence on new raw materials. Additionally, by decreasing the volume of waste in landfills, harmful gas emissions are reduced, contributing to lower carbon emissions. Recycling also offers substantial economic benefits by reducing costs and creating new job opportunities.
In conclusion, recycling presents an opportunity with a far-reaching impact for both individuals and organizations. Today, recycling solutions are more accessible than ever. Municipalities and local authorities are placing dedicated waste containers in every neighborhood, while public spaces such as marketplaces and shopping malls also offer waste disposal bins. Proper waste separation is one of the most fundamental steps in fulfilling our environmental responsibility. By taking a small step toward recycling today, you can contribute to both our environment and our future.
According to National Geographic, if plastic consumption continues to grow at its current rate, an estimated 12 billion tons of plastic waste will be stored in landfills by 2050. Without increased recycling efforts, more waste will end up in landfills, releasing even greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The scale of plastic waste is so vast that experts warn of the emergence of a so-called "seventh continent" made entirely of plastic debris—equivalent to a 7-million-ton floating mass polluting our oceans.
The prediction that "by 2050, there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish" clearly highlights the alarming scale of plastic pollution.
As long as plastic production and consumption continue at their current pace, the impact on nature and life will become increasingly devastating. In the Pacific Ocean, a massive floating garbage patch—spanning 3.4 million square kilometers and entirely composed of human waste—is now referred to as the "Seventh Continent." A significant portion of marine life carries plastic fragments in their stomachs, with many perishing due to plastic pollution.
Microplastics, which have shrunk to nearly invisible sizes, are now being transported to the most remote corners of the world, contaminating water supplies and even entering the air we breathe. Scientists believe that we are now inhaling microscopic plastic particles, further underscoring the urgent need for action.
This alarming reality serves as a stark reminder that combating plastic pollution is no longer a choice but an urgent necessity—one that requires a global effort.
The rPET (Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate), rPE (Recycled Polyethylene), and rPP (Recycled Polypropylene) products manufactured at our facility are primarily used in food-contact packaging and bottles, fiber and textile products, and pipe systems for infrastructure projects.
