The packaging industry’s umbrella organization, the Packaging Manufacturers Association (ASD), drew attention to the importance of packaging use due to June 5, World Environment Day and Environment Week.

ASD Chairman Zeki Sarıbekir said that the packaging ensures that the products remain hygienic, that the products cannot be sold and shipped without packaging. Emphasizing that no packaging is garbage, Zeki Sarıbekir used the following statements on the subject: “We are among the rare sectors that contribute positively to the current account deficit of our country with the added value created by the packaging. The packaging is not garbage and recycling of the packaging is not a burden to the environment. On the contrary, the packaging are materials that create economy. Recycling is the most important building block for the continuation of the contribution to the circular economy and the zero waste approach. We contribute to the economy of our country and the environment through the recycling of packaging waste.”
