WASTE MANAGEMENT
At Akçansa, through the circular economy and waste management practices we adopt within the scope of our sustainability strategy, we aim to ensure that waste generated from our operations is recovered and reintegrated into the economy in the most effective manner.

We support the circular economy through collaborations for waste disposal and recycling projects, and regularly assess waste generation across all our production processes within the framework of the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System standard.
By ensuring compliance with Zero Waste regulations, we manage all waste generated as a result of our activities and carry out periodic reporting to the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change of the Republic of Türkiye through the Zero Waste Information System. We aim to recover all hazardous and non-hazardous waste generated during our production processes through recycling or energy recovery, and we develop integrated solutions for the recovery of waste and its use in energy generation.
93.4%
Our waste recovery rate in 2025
To reduce waste generation at the source, we implement operational improvements and process optimizations while continuously monitoring our waste management processes to enhance their effectiveness. By reducing waste generation in our operations and aligning our processes with circular economy principles, we continue to strengthen our sustainable production approach. In 2025, our waste recovery rate reached 93.4%. At Akçansa, all waste except municipal waste is directed to recycling or recovery processes. In the coming period, we aim to maintain this performance by further improving our waste management practices. As of 2025, the total amount of hazardous and non-hazardous waste generated was 3,960 tons, of which 75% consisted of non-hazardous waste and approximately 25% consisted of hazardous waste. With the exception of e-waste, all hazardous waste is recovered through energy recovery or recycling, and no hazardous waste is sent to landfill sites.
