SANKO is now underlining this commitment with a significant investment in innovative recycling technologies from NGR, and thus relies on more than 25 years of experience.
With NGR's Liquid State Polycondensation (LSP) technology, which uses a continuous melt filtration process to remove impurities from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the manufacturer will produce high-quality products from recycled materials.
Compared to conventional recycling systems, NGR's process offers far better physical cleaning performance with highest energy efficiency.
"Through this investment, we demonstrate our commitment to the environment, sustainability, and social responsibility. Our goal is to leverage the latest innovative technologies from NGR to reduce environmental impact and improve the sustainability of our operations," said Fatih Konukoglu, Vice President of SANKO Holding.
By investing in NGR's technologies, SANKO’s circular tech venuture RE&UP will create closed-loop systems and reduce footprint as well as dependence on virgin raw materials.
This is evidence to the importance of sustainability and circular economy in today's business world, as leading companies like SANKO and RE&UP prioritize environmental impact and social responsibility.
