Environmental Protection and Packaging Waste Evaluation Foundation (ÇEVKO) and Plastic Industrialists Federation (PLASFED) signed a strategic cooperation protocol on the recycling of plastic packaging waste. This collaboration aims to raise awareness in society to reduce plastic packaging waste in a sustainable system, collect it separately at the source and recycle it.
Recycling is Not Only an Environmental but also an Economic Necessity
Speaking at the signing ceremony, ÇEVKO Foundation Chairman Okyar Yayalar stated that this cooperation is an important step in terms of the integration of environmental responsibility into industrial policies. Yayalar said, "Recycling is not only an environmental issue, but also the cornerstone of economic sustainability. The step taken in this direction with PLASFED will provide significant gains for our country in the long term." In his evaluation, ÇEVKO Foundation Secretary General Mete İmer said, "With this protocol, we once again demonstrate how public, industry and civil society cooperation can create a strong impact on environmental transformation."
PLASFED and ÇEVKO Cooperation is a Historical Step for the Sector
PLASFED President Ömer Karadeniz evaluated this cooperation as a "historic step" for the sector. Karadeniz drew attention to the importance of cooperation with the words, "We must not forget that we did not inherit the environment from our ancestors, we borrowed the environment from our children." He emphasized that Türkiye's external dependence on raw materials shows that recycling is indispensable not only environmentally but also economically.
Recycling Testing and Research Center is at the Service of PLASFED Members
Within the scope of the protocol, ÇEVKO and PLASFED will carry out joint studies on the recycling of plastic packaging waste with public authorities, business organizations and non-governmental organizations. One of the important items of the cooperation is to introduce the Recovery Testing and Research Center (GETAM), which was established in cooperation with ÇEVKO Foundation and Yıldız Technical University, to PLASFED members and to ensure that members benefit from this center. These studies aim to further deepen environmental awareness in the industry and create an important milestone on the path to sustainable development.
