Turkish leather zone earmarks $20m for waste facility
21/10/2013
The zone houses 50 sheepskin tanneries with a production capacity of 15 million skins per year.
The tanners recently increased the capacity of their waste water treatment plant from 16,000 to 24,000 cubic meters per day and now want to tackle the solid waste.
The director of the sone, Akif Kuplemez, said: "We are considering incinerating solid waste without creating hazardous gases which will produce steam for our facilities. We are negotiating with a Scottish company on feasibility studies and are expecting to spend $20 million on the project."
