The September issue of PLASFED Magazine, the corporate publication of the Federation of Plastic Manufacturers (PLASFED), has been published. As a reference source for the Turkish industry, the magazine offers a rich content this issue, covering topics from green transformation to global markets, from trade fair agendas to legal and entrepreneurial stories.
PLASFED Magazine meets its readers with a filled content in the September issue as well. We have dedicated our cover story to the title “Global Industry is Decarbonizing.” In an era where companies that cannot reduce their carbon footprint will be left out of global competition, green transformation for Turkey is emerging as an economic necessity in addition to an environmental one. Businesses that comply with carbon-neutral targets will secure both the planet and their commercial future.
This year, the 30th Eurasia Packaging Fair, the largest meeting of the packaging industry, is preparing to take the pulse of the sector in Istanbul again. While we take our place at this important event, we talked with Zeynep Ünal Öztop, the Executive Committee Chairperson of Tuyap Fair Organization Group, about the future of fairs, green packaging solutions, and the strategic importance of fairs for SMEs.
In this issue, we also discussed the 50th anniversary preparations of Kayalar Kimya with its Chairman, Ersin Kayalar, covering the company’s half-century journey, R&D investments, and global market expansion strategies.
We brought a 42-year entrepreneurship journey dedicated to the industry to our pages. Erol Aykut, the founder of Eraysan Group, which produced Turkey's first laminating machines and pioneered the production of local chip IDs, shared with us his production journey and vision for the industry. In our legal pages, Prof. Dr. Ziya Akıncı, Chairman of the Istanbul Arbitration Center, explained the fast and reliable solutions arbitration provides in commercial disputes.
In our country file this month, we closely examined Texas, one of the industrial centers of America. With its investment-friendly structure, strong infrastructure, and broad market access, Texas possesses the potential to be a new global hub for Turkish industrialists, and we explored it in detail.
In our sustainability corner, Environmental High Engineer Erbil Büyükbay evaluated the indispensable role of plastic in our lives and the accompanying environmental responsibilities.
