Developments in plastics recycling enabled a new raw material for textile industry which creates economical and ecological advantages.
Polyethyleneterephthalate (PET),which is the most consumed polymer in textiles recently, is recycled into PET flakes from bottles which have been used for water; oil, drinks etc. packaging.
It is possible to spin fibers from melted PET flakes. In this study, usage of PET flakes in textile industry was explained.
Based on this explanation, some information about the conditions of Turkish plants which produces PET flakes and fibers from these flakes were given.
Moreover, Turkish recycle plants of PET fiber are compared with similar foreign plants in terms of technological background.
In this context, some advices are given about developments which have to be accomplished and strategies in this field that should be followed.
