At Meltem Kimya, we remain committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility in a world shaped by industrialization and increasing consumer demand. By transparently monitoring and continuously improving our environmental impact, we regularly report our carbon emissions, water consumption, and overall environmental performance under the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).

Our targets to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030 have been officially approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Additionally, we develop strategies to protect water resources and minimize environmental impact through life cycle analyses. We are increasing our use of renewable energy by sourcing I-REC certified electricity, and we actively engage in global collaborations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

In line with our sustainability goals, we continue to lead our industry with eco-friendly solutions and innovative projects.

Our Journey
So Far

At Meltem Kimya, we remain committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility in a world of ongoing industrialization and growing consumption demands.

At Meltem Kimya, we remain committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility in a world marked by continuous industrialization and increasing consumption demands. We recognize the importance of efficient resource use and recycling for the well-being of our environment and future generations.

Our sustainability journey encompasses various practices and policies that reflect our commitment to zero waste and responsible production. Since 2000, we have contributed to the circular economy and reduced our ecological footprint by recycling approximately 200,000 tons of waste materials into DOTP plasticizers.

In our PET resin production facility, which became operational in 2009, we pioneered a world-first innovation in 2014 by developing a chemical depolymerization method to recycle PET bottle waste. Through this process, we have produced rPET resin—used as raw material in the packaging and beverage industries—and enabled approximately 10 billion PET bottles to be recovered and returned to shelves. This achievement has significantly contributed to environmental sustainability within the scope of the zero waste initiative.

In 2015, our company commissioned a PET Packaging Production Facility in Manisa, marking a world-first with a technology entirely developed in-house for hot-fill applications up to 95°C. Designed as an alternative to glass and tin, these lightweight, unbreakable, and easily recyclable PET jars offer superior transparency compared to tin and greater durability than glass. These innovative, export-friendly packages provide a sustainable and practical solution, particularly by facilitating access to distant markets.

At Meltem Kimya, we remain committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility in a world of ongoing industrialization and increasing consumption demands. We understand the importance of using limited resources efficiently and the value of recycling for both our environment and future generations.

As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we conduct carbon footprint assessments, participate in CDP reporting, and have our targets validated under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Through these efforts, and by utilizing recycled PET resins, we have significantly reduced our carbon footprint and emissions, contributing to a greener and more sustainable future.

At Meltem Kimya, sustainability is not just a goal—it is a guiding principle. By investing in technology, talent, and environmental initiatives, we continue our efforts to create a better and more livable world for future generations.
