Measure description Coverage of the measure
Decision to extend a safeguard measure that is being applied against imports of Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and non-application of the safeguard measure to developing countries.
- It is expected that the domestic producers perform production in compliance with the legal rules, and in this respect, use recyclable packing materials (RPET) only.
- 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. Through this system, solid waste s that occur during the production are processed, and afterwards, can be used in the production process again. This process is in progress and a saving in the amount of 200.000 euro per year is expected from it.
