No matter what shape the economic rebound takes, that means Turkey is likely to have a growing demand for finished paper and board and the recovered fiber needed to make it. In a recent interview with Recycling Today, Ercan Y\u00fcrekli of Istanbul-based recycling and trading firm Y\u00fcrekli Ka\u011f\u0131t indicates his company is preparing to help fill this demand, as are many other companies that belong to T\u00dcDAM, an association of more than 50 Turkish recycling firms.<\/p>\n<p>Y\u00fcrekli Ka\u011f\u0131t collects printers scrap in and around Istanbul, but Ercan Y\u00fcrekli says Turkey\u2019s scrap paper collection overall focuses on old corrugated containers (OCC), and even the collection rate for that stands at \u201conly at 20 to 25 percent.\u201d \u201cIndustrial OCC is collected, but household fiber is less so,\u201d says Y\u00fcrekli. \u201cOur current 4 million tons per year capacity means we\u2019re already net importers of scrap paper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Y\u00fcrekli says shipping fiber via truck from Romania (as well as from Greece and Bulgaria) can be done affordably. Fiber also is brought in via sea container from Germany, the Netherlands and other more distant points in Europe. With new capacity coming online in Turkey, however, he sees supply lines extending farther\u2014including to North America. \u201cOur aim is to help Turkey become a bigger importer of fiber, up to 2 million tons per year by 2023,\u201d says Y\u00fcrekli of on the T\u00dcDAM association\u2019s goals. \u201cOur firm would like about 10 percent of this share,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.recyclingtoday.com\/article\/yurekli-kagi-tudam-turkey-paper-recycling-demand\/\">Recycling Today<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The COVID-19 pandemic has harmed numerous sectors of the global economy, but paperboard packaging and tissue paper have been notable exceptions.
