Based on this explanation, some information about the conditions of Turkish plants which produces PETflakes and fibers from these flakes were given. Moreover, Turkish recycle plants of PETfiber are compared with similar foreign plants in terms of technological background. In this context, some advices are given about developments which have to be accomplished and strategies in this field that should be followed.
