A Move Toward European Standards in Recycling by SEM Plastik and PAGEV

Turkey is gaining global attention for its investments in recycling and sustainability. In particular, efforts to recover plastic waste are aligning the country with the European Union’s circular economy vision. Leading organizations in the sector, PAGEV and SEM Plastik, have played a major role in this development.

The Turkish Plastics Industrialists Research, Development, and Education Foundation (PAGEV) takes an active role in developing recycling infrastructure, while SEM Plastik leads the way in sustainable production by increasing the use of recycled raw materials in its manufacturing processes.

Strategic Leadership from PAGEV

According to PackWorld Turkey, projects implemented under PAGEV’s guidance are based on European Union standards in waste management, separation systems, and reuse applications. PAGEV aims to spread the culture of recycling more widely by increasing collaboration between the public and private sectors.

SEM Plastik: Sustainability Vision in Practice

Embracing the idea that recycling is not only an environmental issue but also a technological and economic transformation process, SEM Plastik brings this vision to its production operations. The company:

• Actively uses recycled raw materials,

• Develops production systems that minimize waste generation,

• Manufactures products in compliance with EU environmental regulations.

By adopting the circular economy model, SEM Plastik follows a policy directly aligned with the European Union’s 2030 sustainability goals.

A Recycling Initiative Aligned with the European Union

The European Union mandates the reduction of plastic waste, the increase of reuse rates, and the establishment of traceable recycling chains. Turkey is rapidly approaching these goals through the sectoral guidance of PAGEV and the practices of companies like SEM Plastik.

In this context, recycling investments in Turkey are supported by:

-The establishment of modern sorting and collection infrastructures,

-The transition to chemical and mechanical recycling technologies,

-Education and public awareness initiatives.

SEM Plastik officials stated the following regarding the issue:

"We continue our recycling investments with an approach that considers not only today but also the future. We develop projects aligned with the European Union’s environmental goals and lead the transition to a sustainable production model in the industry."
