Turkey plans to recycle more than 25 billion beverage packages per year, adding around $600 million to its economy.

Plastic, glass and aluminium packaging with a “deposit-bearing packages” logo will be collected through the environment ministry’s deposit-return machines and recycled, state-run Anadolu news agency reported.

Pilot projects will be initiated in northwestern Turkey’s Sakarya province and the Kizilcahamam district of Ankara.

The initiative aims to increase recycling efficiency and reduce dependence on foreign sources of raw materials.

Recycling more than 25 billion beverage packages annually is expected to reduce pollution, protect natural resources and alleviate urban waste, the report said.

The Istanbul-based Zero Waste Foundation, chaired by Emine Erdoğan, Turkey’s first lady, is backing the deposit management system.

The amount of plastic produced globally every year has soared over the past half century, from 15 million tonnes in 1964 to more than 300 million tonnes, AGBI reported in August 2022.

According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a charity that promotes the transition to a circular economy, packaging accounts for a quarter of the world’s plastics output, and about 40 percent is sent to landfills. 

Another 14 percent is incinerated, while 32 percent ends up in the natural environment. Less than 15 percent is collected for recycling.

Crypto ETF Floodgates Open With SEC Listing Standards. What Does It Mean For Prices?

The post Crypto ETF Floodgates Open With SEC Listing Standards. What Does It Mean For Prices? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has cleared a path for a flood of new crypto exchange-traded products to hit the market, a move analysts say could reshape how money flows into digital assets. On Wednesday, the agency approved generic listing standards for “commodity-based trust shares” across regulated exchanges Nasdaq, Cboe BZX and NYSE Arca.

Instead, an offering whose underlying assets satisfy certain objective eligibility tests — for example, if the crypto trades on a market that is a member of the Intermarket Surveillance Group (ISG), or if the underlying asset’s futures contract is listed on a CFTC-regulated designated contract market for at least six months — can be listed using these generic standards. What’s next? The regulatory shift marks a watershed for the crypto industry, removing much of the procedural drag that has historically slowed getting new crypto products to the market, analysts said. “[The] crypto ETF floodgates are about to open,” said Nate Geraci, a well-followed ETF analyst and president of NovaDius Wealth Management. “Expect an absolute deluge of new filings and launches,” he said. “You may not like it, but crypto is going mainstream via the ETF wrapper.” Matt Hougan, chief investment officer of digital asset management firm and ETF issuer Bitwise, said the SEC’s move is a “coming of age” moment for crypto. “[It’s] a signal that we’ve reached the big leagues,” he wrote. “But it’s also just the beginning.” History backs up predictions that the number of new crypto ETF launches will accelerate under the new regime. When the SEC approved generic listing standards for…
