The Government of Turkey recently barred recovered PE from import into the country, but has now repealed the ban and implemented an enhanced licensing system instead.
In late May, the Turkish government announced it would end imports of recovered PE, giving 45 days of advance notice. The country’s environment minister said Turkey intends to source all of its raw materials domestically.
The 45-day period ended in July, and the ban went into effect, but just days later, the government repealed the regulation.
