PET Polyester
Turkey is gearing up to inaugurate its first enzymatic recycling plant for PET polyester, driven by significant investment plans from SASA Polyester. This development aligns with SASA’s broader strategy to make Turkey entirely self-reliant in the raw materials needed for polyester production.
A new $1.5 billion SASA Polyester plant for purified terephthalic acid (PTA) is set to commence operations this year in Adana, with an annual capacity of 1,750,000 tons. This launch will transform Turkey into a net exporter of polyester, a significant shift from its current status as a net importer. SASA highlights that self-reliance in raw materials was crucial for the growth and stabilization of the textile industries in South Korea and China.
In addition to the PTA plant, SASA, owned by Erdemoglu Holding, plans to operationalize a second $400 million PET polyester fibre plant at its Adana complex by the end of this year. This new facility will add an annual capacity of 402,500 tons.
