- A firm has carried out a study process at the beginning of the year 2013 to produce the products that have high profit potential and a special intended use, and are mainly considered as export material, however, can be also used in domestic market. As the result of that, this firm has produced PET-resin chips that provides energy saving for user during the preform swelling process and contains re-heat material.
- A firm put the solid waste recycle system into use in September of 2011.

This process is in progress and a saving in the amount of 200.000 euro per year is expected from it.
