PACKAGING RECYCLING

Since the collected composite packaging is obtained by using many materials together, the recycling process also consists of complex stages.

After grinding and separation processes, the paper and aluminum/polyethylene part are separated from each other. Recovered paper can be preferred in the production of products such as tissue paper, toilet paper and corrugated cardboard by going through a kind of paper recycling process.

After the paper part is separated, the remaining part (aluminum and polyethylene/or other material) can be preferred as an additional fuel in cement factories because of its high calorific value.

In the same way, it can be recovered by burning for energy purposes. Another application is in the products produced under the name of Yekpan in our country. These products are the name given to the process of making composite packages into a material similar to chipboard by being compressed in presses after they are trimmed and milled. The product obtained becomes a water and moisture resistant material that can be used in the production of garden furniture.
