Tanrıkulu Recycling

Tanrıkulu Group of Companies carries out recycling collection and sorting activities in 4 facilities in Istanbul Sultangazi, Kocaeli İzmit, Gebze, Köseköy. In these facilities, collection and sorting operations are carried out for the reuse of paper, plastic, metal and pallet materials.

What are the Contributions of Recycling to the Economy and the Environment? Recycling is the process of reprocessing most of the materials we see as garbage into new products. It contributes to the economy and the environment.

Recycling is the recycling of used waste materials back into production and the economy. This contributes directly to the economy and indirectly to the environment. The cost and difficulty of preparing a material from scratch with a raw material can be reduced through recycling. In order for recycling to be economically viable and environmentally effective, certain conditions must be met. These include a sufficient amount of recyclable materials, a system that will eliminate these materials as waste, an enterprise capable of reprocessing recyclable materials, and a potential demand for recycled materials.

Contributions to the Economy Recycling waste has significant contributions to the economy. First of all, the need for raw materials decreases. Converting a used product into raw material saves energy. Recycling a product from waste and turning it back into raw material saves between 30 and 50 percent energy compared to producing it from virgin raw material. The amount of energy saved through recycling, which is a component of the waste hierarchy of “reduce”, ‘reuse’ and “recycle”, depends on the material being recycled and the type of energy used. Some of the contributions of recycling to the economy are as follows;

Prevents waste of useful waste material. Problems such as transportation and storage of waste and garbage are avoided. Reduces consumption of fresh raw materials. Reduces energy use. Allows waste material to serve as a new product. Provides economic advantages by eliminating public waste in large populated areas. Creates new business and employment opportunities. Energy savings of 90 percent are achieved by recycling aluminum cans and 60 percent by recycling paper. By reducing the need for new raw materials, it reduces the amount of imports and contributes to the national economy. Contributions to the Environment Recycling provides very important contributions to the environment and ecological balance. In parallel with the increasing population of the world, the increasing need for raw materials is prevented or minimized from disrupting the natural balance. Thus, damages to nature and environmental pollution are minimized. Some of the contributions of recycling to the environment are as follows;

Helps conserve natural resources such as trees, water resources and minerals. Reduces the need to collect new raw materials and prevents pollution of the air and environment. Helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Compost products or fertilizers produced from household waste improve the soil, allowing nutrients to be used by plants. Composted biological waste creates a rich organic resource. Recyclable Materials It is not possible to include all kinds of products in recycling processes. For this, the quality of the materials used in the products is important. Almost all parts of an automobile can be recycled. The same is true for electronic devices. However, it may not be possible to recycle every waste or garbage. For example, materials such as diapers, plastic bags, mirrors, light bulbs, greasy and coated paper, bottles of motor oil cannot be recycled.

We can list some of the materials that can be recycled as follows; iron, steel, aluminum, all kinds of metals, paper and derivatives, glass, all kinds of plastics, electronic and electrical materials, electronic consumables, batteries, batteries, batteries, concrete, textiles, all kinds of wood, organic wastes (such as vegetable oils), motor oils, solvent-based wastes, tires, foods, rubber, garden wastes (grass, grass, fertilizer, trees, etc.).

“Salvage”, a form of recycling, is the process of separating usable liquids or metals from complex materials. For example, the separation of gold circuits from thousands of parts in an automobile or the removal of mercury from thermometers is a salvage practice.
