Scientists from the Institute of Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan have developed a unique technology for producing synthetic fillers from recycled plastic waste, including PET bottles. This environmentally friendly solution was presented at an industry conference dedicated to the development of the country's textile industry. This was reported by the online publication ‘Business Turkmenistan’.

The new development not only allows plastic waste to be recycled, but also creates high-quality insulation for textile products. The conference, which brought together leading scientists and experts from various universities in the country, also showcased more than 100 samples of locally produced chemical products, ranging from fertilisers to medical materials.

Participants paid particular attention to the prospects for using the mineral resources of the Garabogaz Bay, which is rich in valuable elements. According to experts, the integration of science and production contributes to the development of environmentally friendly technologies and strengthens the position of Turkmen textiles in the international market.
