The bill permits only two types of packaging: reusable bags with a minimum thickness of 50 microns, capable of carrying 10 kilograms and lasting at least 20 use cycles, and biodegradable bags that must degrade by 90 percent within six months.

Interest in the initiative has led to long queues forming at deposit return machines in Istanbul and several other provinces as people brought bags of used plastic bottles, glass bottles and aluminum cans to be processed one by one.

The technology supports the circular economy by enabling more accurate sorting of packaging waste, resulting in higher-quality recycled material streams that can be reintegrated into new packaging production.

While national plastics bans grab headlines, their fragmentation is undermining environmental gains and squandering a monumental business opportunity.

The material, produced with 30% post-consumer recycled PP, is sourced from plastic cups collected in coastal parts of Southeast Asia through the Prevented Ocean Plastic programme, preventing waste from entering marine environments.

Petco described this as its largest single infrastructure investment to date, demonstrating commitment to high-value capital infrastructure projects including sorting conveyor systems, balers and forklifts.

The system, developed in collaboration with Datacom, enables Lion to monitor crates in circulation and aims to collect data on consumer behaviours to refine the experience for future scaling.
