Turkey Circular Economy Platform, which offers material exchange opportunities to its member companies through Turkey Materials Marketplace (TMM), continues to support companies in their circular transition by establishing inspiring collaborations.
Recently, a collaboration was established between Anako and Arkim under the "recovery model" of circular economy. Through the transaction, the eggshells of Anako were utilized by Arkim as a new generation food supplement. Therefore, the added value of the eggshells was enhanced thus the waste/by-product material was upcycled.
By using eggshells, which contain high amounts of calcium, Arkim produces a variety of products that can be used in different industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food etc. Through this transaction, the calcium content of Anako’s production process output is valorized by Arkim as a calcium supplement.
In addition to their previous collaboration on TMM, Anako and Arkim are carrying out yet another successful transaction.
