2.4.1.2. Alternative 2: material recovery facility (MRF) and landfilling.
In this alternative, an MRF and a landfill with energy recovery will
be added to the system. Metals, paper/cardboard, glass and plastics
are separated and recycled at a 40% rate in the MRF to meet the
legislative targets for recycling of packaging waste according to the
Turkish law responding to the EU Packaging Waste Directive. The
rest of the waste will be deposited in Sakarya's landfill which is
19 km northeast of the city.
