Waste Collection

Packaging waste is an important part of the total solid waste. Packaging waste is renewable because it

contains glass, plastic, metal, paper and composites. The recycled packaging waste is returned to the production

line and used as secondary raw materials. The collection of packaging waste from the source, as in developed

countries, must be done properly, separated from garbage, in order to be returned to the recycling industry.

Our company uses piggy banks, interior bins and recycling bags in waste collecting from the source.

Packeging waste collected by separation processes at the source is brought to our collection and spereation plant.

Separation

Packaging waste, brought to Özkartallar Waste Collection and Sorting Plant in mixed form is sorted out into five

main groups as paper, glass, metal, plastic and composite. The packaging waste in these five groups are further

devided into subgroups. For example, the mixed plastic waste is sorted into 5 different types of materials as(PET,

PE, PP, PS, PVC) and then it is delivered to the recycling industry. Because all subgroup materials are subjected to a

different recycling technique.

Packaging waste brought to the sorting section is taken to the separation band by means of a loading band. There

are personnel on both sides of the band to execute the separation of these materials. Personnel in charge of

separation do the sorting according to the type of packaging waste and place them in the compartments at the

bottom of the band. Separated packaging waste accumulated in these compartments are sent to the pressing unit.

Pressed materials are stacked and stored to be shipped later to the relevant recycling facilities.

Recycling

Waste paper prepared in bales at the Özkartal packaging waste collection and sorting plant loaded onto trucks with

forklifts to be shipped to the licensed recycling facilities.

Paper transported by conveyor belts are converted into dough in the pools called cellulose pulp by mixing with

chemical materials. This is done at a specific temperature. Also, foreign substances coming with paper are removed

in this pool.

Paper made into paste is run through strains and sand traps for separation from small-scale foreign materials.

Paper pulp with high water content is subjected to a washing process to rid from ink and similar materials. Pulp

separated from all impurities is also dried to reduce liquid rate. New layers are adhered on the dried pulp by means

of rollers to achieve the desired product. The final version of the paper is delivered to the slaughterhouse wrapped

large pulleys. Final paper produced from waste paper is stocked to be used by packaging factories and printing

houses.
