Orta Anadolu General Manager Turgut Bozkurt said; “We will continue our investments this year as well. We continue our investment research on raw materials, water and energy recycling in a way that will increase our efficient use of our resources.
We recently invested in a study that will open our supply map to all our stakeholders. In addition to this investment, we have created a system where we can calculate the total impact of each fabric we produce on the environment and share these data with our customers clearly.”
“Cotton production should be encouraged”
Turgut Bozkurt, who also made statements about the sector, said: “As the effect of the pandemic process, brands only realized how risky it was to be highly dependent on Asia and decided to increase their procurement rates from closer geographies. Our country is geographically advantageous in this regard.
We think that cotton production, which is the main raw material of denim, should be encouraged in Turkey. Another important issue is the regional incentives given to our industry. We think that the regional investment incentives should be given to the companies on the basis of the added value created. ”
