Activities

Solar Energy System (SES)

We are transforming our rooftop areas into a source of sustainable energy. With a 2.5 MWp solar energy system to be installed on 16,000 m² of rooftop space, we aim to generate approximately 3.5 GWh of electricity annually. This investment allows us to meet a significant portion of our electricity needs from renewable sources while reducing our carbon footprint. Thanks to Türkiye’s high solar irradiation potential, the system offers strong environmental and economic benefits.

Average solar irradiation in Tekirdağ: 1900 kWh/m²/year
Annual generation: ~3.3 GWh
CO₂ savings: Approx. 1,330 tons CO₂/year

Corn Starch-Based Additives

To reduce the environmental impact of our production processes, we incorporate corn starch-based additives into our materials. These additives, when blended with biopolymers such as PLA (polylactic acid) and PBAT, enable packaging films and bags to become biodegradable in nature. Starch-enhanced materials can break down within 3 to 6 months under industrial composting conditions and are also easily recyclable within standard recycling systems.

Compatible raw materials: PLA, PBAT, PCL, EVA, LDPE/HDPE
Additive ratio: 5–30%
Decomposition period: 3–6 months
Carbon emission reduction: 40–60%

Thanks to these innovations, we are able to both reduce our carbon footprint and develop eco-friendly alternatives. The additives we use not only reduce fossil-based plastic consumption but also offer a solution that safely degrades in nature without leaving toxic residues.

Sugarcane-Based Additives

The sugarcane-based raw materials we use in our products reflect a production approach that is both environmentally responsible and high-performance. Bioethanol derived from sugarcane replaces fossil-based ethylene in the production of bio-based polyethylene (Bio‑PE). Bio‑PE offers the same physical properties as conventional polyethylene, requires no modifications to existing production lines, and is 100% recyclable within current recycling systems.

Compatible raw materials: Bio‑PE, PLA, PBAT
CO₂ reduction: 50–80% compared to fossil-based PE
Recyclability: 100%
Carbon impact: Carbon-neutral or carbon-negative

In addition, additives derived from sugarcane fibers (bagasse) are used in the production of biodegradable films and composites, offering nature-friendly alternatives. Through these innovations, we reduce our reliance on fossil resources while minimizing the carbon footprint of our manufacturing processes.

In-House Recycling System

At our facility, film scraps, bags, and packaging waste generated during production are processed through our in-house recycling line and converted back into granules. These granules are then reintegrated into the production cycle, helping minimize waste generation.

Process Flow: Collection → Shredding → Melting → Pelletizing → Reuse
Materials: LDPE & HDPE production waste
CO₂ savings: 20–50%

At Ayfleks, we design our production processes to minimize environmental impact. By developing both recyclable solutions (such as Bio-PE and LDPE/HDPE regranulated products) and biodegradable alternatives (based on corn starch and sugarcane-derived biopolymers), we actively contribute to the transformation toward sustainable materials.

Thanks to our in-house recycling line, we convert production waste into granules, supporting the circular economy and reducing raw material consumption. In addition, with our rooftop solar energy investment (SES), we utilize renewable energy to lower our carbon emissions.

This integrated approach to sustainability enables us to deliver high-performance packaging solutions while placing environmental responsibility at the core of our operations.

Recycling Facility

Technology & Process: At our state-of-the-art in-house recycling facility, we convert industrial and post-consumer plastic waste (PCR) into high-quality recycled materials.

Capacity & Capabilities: As an integral part of our production process, this facility enables us to manufacture recycled raw materials (rPE, rPP). We confidently incorporate these materials into packaging solutions, tailored to meet both customer requirements and technical specifications.

Why It Matters (Customer Benefits):
Environmental Responsibility: We help reduce your carbon footprint by contributing directly to the circular economy.
Sustainable Packaging Solutions: With packaging that includes PCR content (e.g., 30%), we support your brand to reach sustainability goals.
Quality & Consistency: By managing our own recycling process, we ensure full control over the quality and purity of recycled pellets, without compromising end-product performance.
One-Stop Solution: There’s no need to search for additional suppliers, we handle both packaging and recycled material sourcing in-house.
