Our natural resources are protected
Our natural resources are decreasing day by day due to the increase in the world population and changing consumption habits. For this reason, it is necessary to use natural resources efficiently by reducing material consumption and recycling recyclable waste. Forests, water, oil, etc. As a result of the use of our natural resources in the production process, glass, metal, plastic and paper/cardboard packages are obtained. The recycled materials obtained as a result of the packages released into the market being separated according to their types and sent to the recycling industry after they become waste are used as secondary raw materials in the production of various products. Thus, we contribute to nature by using our natural resources less. Every recycled packaging ensures the protection of oil, water, minerals and other similar natural resources.
Energy savings are achieved
Recycling saves energy by reducing the number of industrial processes in material production. For example; Since these metals are directly melted and transformed into new products in the recycling process of metal beverage cans, the ore used for the production of these metals can be produced without the need for extraction, transportation and purification of this ore. In this way, 95% energy savings can be achieved by recycling an aluminum can compared to producing products from raw materials. Similarly, the energy required to reprocess the paper separated from solid waste is 50% of that required for normal processes.
Contribution is made to the economy
Recycling is an efficient economic investment in the long term. Economic problems may arise as a result of the decrease in raw materials and the rapid depletion of natural resources. At this point, recycling can have positive effects on the economy. Reducing the consumption of Energy and Natural Resources is also of great importance for the country's economy. In addition, as a result of the decrease in the consumption of raw materials such as oil, on which we depend on foreign sources, our money stays domestically and our economy improves. We also provide foreign currency inflow to our country by selling our recycled products abroad.
The amount of waste decreases
With the implementation of recycling, the amount of waste going to garbage is reduced, and less space and energy is used for transportation and storage of these wastes. For household waste, this reduction is a very significant rate when viewed from a volumetric perspective. By recycling packaging waste, more domestic waste can be collected in collection vehicles, thus reducing collection and transportation costs. Since storage areas will be used less, storage areas built at very high costs can be used for longer periods.
It is an investment for the future
Efficient use of the natural resources provided to us by the Earth we live on is important so that future generations do not suffer from resource shortages. The more economically we use the natural resources of this Earth, the less resource shortages our future generations will experience, and future generations will have the opportunity to benefit from natural resources. In addition, the recycling sector in our country is developing day by day. This development will enable the establishment of new facilities and the creation of new job opportunities.
