Official Regulation & Corporate Scope Summary (Facility No: 1150345)Scrap cable recycling is the zero-emission mechanical granulation and electrostatic separation of insulated or bare copper and aluminum power, armored and data cables (EWC: 17 04 11, 17 04 01, 16 02 16) at Ministry of Environment R12 licensed plants (Permit No: 1150345), recovering 99.9% pure electrolytic copper granules valued at LME rates with official EÇBS/UATF certification.
R12 • 1150345
Industrial, construction and data center scrap cables (EWC 17 04 11, 17 04 01 and 16 02 16) are never burned; all lots are processed in closed-loop dry mechanical shredders, air-density tables and electrostatic separators to recover 99.9% pure electrolytic copper granules with full EÇBS/MoTAT mass-balance certification.

Zero-Emission Mechanical Cable Granulation vs. Illegal Open Burning (Environmental Law No. 2872)
Scrap cables generated during factory retrofits, power grid upgrades, urban redevelopment and manufacturing offcuts contain high-purity electrolytic copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al). Burning PVC, polyethylene or halogen cable insulation in open air releases carcinogenic dioxins, furans and heavy-metal particulates, constituting a severe environmental crime under Turkish Environmental Law No. 2872, the Waste Management Regulation and Turkish Penal Code Articles 181-182 — exposing both the waste generator and unlicensed collector to heavy administrative fines. Katkısan Electronic Waste (İz Geri Dönüşüm ve Nakliyat Tic. Ltd. Şti. — İkitelli Tax Office / Tax ID: 4831355596) operates under Ministry of Environment R12 Permit No: 1150345 (Approval: 58003700-150/E.3166) and Zero Waste Certificate TS/34/B3/16/831, recovering EWC 17 04 11 and 17 04 01 cables with zero emissions alongside our R12 licensed electronic waste (WEEE) recovery lines.
Mechanical Granulation Engineering, Laboratory Copper Yield Assay & LME Pricing
The most decisive engineering metric in unstripped scrap cable valuation is the net electrolytic copper cross-section ratio (copper yield percentage) relative to PVC/XLPE polymer insulation and steel/lead armor. At our TS 13615 certified İkitelli OSB plant (34-HYB-22350 — TSE Registry: 4236735), incoming cables pass through twin-shaft pre-shredders and high-speed rotary granulators, followed by specific-gravity vibrating air tables and high-voltage electrostatic separators that capture even hair-thin capillary copper strands without loss — yielding 99.9% pure copper granules and clean recyclable polymer granules. Across industrial circular economy manufacturing programs, data center ITAD decommissioning and industrial UPS battery disposal projects, we perform a transparent sample assay and price net copper weight directly against live London Metal Exchange (LME) copper rates.
Same-Day Marmara Industrial Basin Dispatch & 81-Province Tonnage Cable Pickup
Operating from our Istanbul İkitelli Organized Industrial Zone (Dersan Industrial Estate) hub with our own MoTAT-licensed (ATA-34-290 / ATA-34-290/TA-01 — E-59061333-145.13-7409973) and TSE-certified (ATK3423000945 — Plate: 34 HER 112) fleet, we dispatch vehicles on the same day to factories and construction sites across Istanbul (İkitelli OSB, Tuzla, Dudullu, Beylikdüzü, Hadımköy, Esenyurt), Kocaeli (Gebze GOSB, Dilovası, Çayırova), Tekirdağ (Çorlu, Çerkezköy, Ergene), Bursa (Nilüfer OSB, Demirtaş OSB) and Sakarya (Hendek, Arifiye).
