Paper packaging recycling rate target is 60% for 2020 in <strong>Turkey</strong>…<br />
Today, recycling activities carried out by<br />
organizations authorized by the Ministry of<br />
Environment and Urbanism in the collection<br />
and recycling of cardboard packaging, 103<br />
percent of the packages laid out under the<br />
B1* market are recycled while 53 thousand<br />
428 tonnes of the packages put on the<br />
market as products are recycled. When the<br />
average recycling cardboard packaging by<br />
52 percent, this ratio is expected to increase<br />
to 60 percent of the sector’s overall<br />
assessment by the Ministry of Environment<br />
and Urbanism in <strong>Turkey</strong> in 2020.<br />
There are 2 million 979 thousand 101 tons of cardboard<br />
packaging produced in <strong>Turkey</strong> and 1 million 530<br />
thousand 578 tons of this figure is being given back to<br />
the market. According to the records, the ratio of the<br />
recycling products is %103 in the scope of B1 while 53<br />
thousand 428 tonnes of packaging deposit products<br />
given to the market is being recycled…<br />
Nowadays, packaging made from paper and cardboard<br />
materials needs to be thrown into special boxes after<br />
their usages. The paper and cardboard packages<br />
collected separately in these boxes are brought to<br />
licensed facilities and are being recycled.<br />
“Reform legislation is required”<br />
On the other hand, according to the international<br />
reports, the global size of recycled cardboard<br />
packaging market is expected to reach 139 billion<br />
dollars at the end of 2018. Mr Ali Can Duran, Vice Chair<br />
responsible for Cardboard Packaging, Furniture Paper<br />
and Forest Products Exporters’ Union who has said<br />
the EU Countries especially Germany has assumed<br />
a significant duty in this field told that the developed<br />
countries such as; Sweden, Denmark, Canada and<br />
Japan had made a great progress in recycling field said<br />
Duran,<br />
“In these countries there is an important legislations<br />
for not only governments but also for the authorized<br />
bodies with a strong recycling infrastructure as well.<br />
We should also talk about their awareness built on a<br />
strong and sustainable “recycling culture”. In other<br />
words, we can easily say recycling must be done by<br />
professionally and with a sustainable perspective, not<br />
as like as doing with the traditional paper-cardboard<br />
scrap business. On the other hand these countries are<br />
also the ones who have strong legislations as well.<br />
For instance, Japan has become one of the leading<br />
countries in this field after they made a law in 2006 in<br />
order to accelerate the process. We are here saying<br />
they have large-scale structures instead of traditional<br />
paper cardboard scrap business. These structures have<br />
both certificates given by the public authorities and<br />
strong technical infrastructures. We have to say that<br />
as a last, they also have a strong social consciousness<br />
at all. Particularly in Sweden, the disassembly of<br />
packaging is a very common practice, and companies<br />
also contribute to the national programs. For instance,<br />
a Swedish company who is one of the textile giants<br />
of the world is a member of one of those national<br />
programs and has been contributing enormously.
