Established in 1981 by Rıfat Özel, Özel Kağıtçılık initially launched its operations in the Kağıthane district on a 1,200-square-meter footprint. Following nearly three decades of growth in the paper recovery sector, the business relocated in 2010 to Ayazağa, situated along Kemerburgaz Street in the Şişli and Sarıyer vicinity. Under the management of İlhami Özel, the company operates across a 2,500-square-meter facility dedicated to non-hazardous scrap paper handling, sorting, and systematic destruction services.
The enterprise provides end-to-end logistics and recycling solutions for public institutions, municipal departments, commercial firms, and domestic contributors across Istanbul. Equipped with a modern collection fleet and dedicated personnel, the team handles on-site scrap collection, certified weighing, and direct transport to sorting conveyors.
Accepted Paper Grades and Secondary Raw Materials
Özel Kağıtçılık processes and classifies diverse paper waste streams categorized as non-hazardous recyclable scrap. Documented materials managed at the Ayazağa facility include:
• Scrap newspapers and printed newsprint
• White waste paper and high-grade office sorting
• Coated paper waste and printing house shavings
• Magazines, periodicals, and mixed press leftovers
• Corrugated cardboard, boxes, and packaging scraps
• Obsolete administrative archives and end-of-year dossiers
Confidential Archive and Document Destruction Services
Handling bureaucratic documents, obsolete correspondence, official agreements, and financial ledgers requires high levels of security. Özel Kağıtçılık offers institutional document disposal procured through tenders or bilateral service contracts. The company collects archival materials from public agencies and private enterprises directly with authorized personnel. Destruction procedures are carried out under client oversight or designated supervisory staff to safeguard sensitive information prior to forwarding sorted fibrous material to licensed secondary fiber facilities.
Operational Reach and Recycling Logistics
With extensive regional coverage across Istanbul—regularly servicing high-density administrative and commercial districts such as Şişli, Beşiktaş, and Kemerburgaz—the firm helps divert valuable raw materials away from waste dumps. By redirecting cellulose fibers back into paper production mills, it supports circular manufacturing while reducing environmental strain. In addition to commercial pickups, Özel Kağıtçılık facilitates immediate cash payments for delivered scraps and supplies dedicated recycling bins to homes and offices seeking organized recovery of books, used paper, and packaging items.
