From DESUP preparation to system performance management, and from counting centre (SDM) setup to operation — we support authorised DRS operators (DSYS operators) at every stage of the TÜÇA authorisation and operational process.
Our services follow the operator lifecycle: first securing TÜÇA approval for the field rollout plan, then running the approved plan in a measurable manner, and correctly establishing the most capital-intensive infrastructure.
The deposit field implementation plan (DESUP) is the document in which a DSYS operator commits to the Turkish Environment Agency (TÜÇA) on how it will operate in the field. Field activities cannot begin without its approval; an incomplete or inconsistent plan can prolong the application process by months.
The challenge is clear: guidelines outline what the plan must contain, but leave execution to the operator. Numerous aspects — from the formatting of return point network contracts to how declared capacity relates to actual collection — remain open to interpretation. We resolve this ambiguity through field experience with already approved plans.

DESUP approval is not the end; it is the beginning. Ensuring that the approved plan actually functions in the field — opening return points, establishing collection cadence, and submitting consistent reports to TÜÇA — requires a dedicated management discipline. SPY establishes this discipline externally and measurably.
The most common issue operators face during operations is a gap between planned figures and field reality. Declared capacity fails to match actuals, return point performance goes unmonitored, and discrepancies surface during TÜÇA audits. We make these discrepancies visible well before an audit occurs.
A counting centre (SDM) represents one of the most capital-intensive investments in a deposit return system. A poorly located or incorrectly sized SDM generates operational losses every month — and rectifying it after installation is extremely costly.
Therefore, establishing an SDM is a network design decision, not merely a construction project. Which provinces it will serve, which routes collection vehicles will follow, and what volume daily counting capacity must handle must be clarified before capital commitment. We structure the project in precisely this sequence.

The most frequently asked questions regarding DESUP, SPY, and SDM processes.
A DESUP is the document in which an authorised DRS operator (DSYS operator) commits to the Turkish Environment Agency (TÜÇA) on how it will operate in the field. Field activities cannot commence without its approval; an incomplete or inconsistent plan can delay the application process by months.
It varies depending on the number of provinces and your current state of readiness; a typical DESUP process takes approximately 6–8 weeks until the application dossier is submitted.
It is suitable for companies whose authorisation application is pending with TÜÇA and operators that have received authorisation but whose DESUP has not yet been approved. It scales from single-province operators to multi-province structures.
DESUP approval is not the end, but the beginning. Ensuring that the approved plan actually works in the field — opening return points, establishing collection cadence, maintaining consistent TÜÇA reporting — requires a distinct management discipline. SPY establishes this discipline externally and measurably.
It covers the end-to-end setup and operation of a counting and verification centre (SDM), including location selection, capacity design, supplier evaluation and operating model.
The national integration period (UES) begins on 1 July 2026 and runs until June 2028. During this period, province-by-province DESUP approval is a prerequisite for the revenue model.
