Sanliurfa OIZ Wastewater Recovery Efficiency Project

The “Wastewater Recovery Efficiency Project,” led by GTE with the support of the Karacadag Development Agency and under the advisory of Prof. Dr. Erkan Sahinkaya from Istanbul Medeniyet University, is being implemented in alignment with the priorities of the World Bank-Financed Turkey Organized Industrial Zones Project financial support program.

The project, in collaboration with Sanliurfa Organized Industrial Zone, aims to ensure the effective and efficient management of water resources and serves as a model for the green transformation of industry in Turkey. Existing technologies for wastewater recovery in SUOIZ have been evaluated, preliminary designs have been developed, and feasibility studies have been conducted to assess the project’s economic, technical, and environmental aspects, including approximate investment and operating costs.

Cerkezkoy Organized Industrial Zone Wastewater Recovery Project

GTE is serving as a technical consultant for a project aimed at recovering wastewater generated from various sectors, such as textiles, chemicals, electronics, and food, operating within the Cerkezkoy Organized Industrial Zone (COIZ). The project intends for the recovered wastewater to be used as process water in the companies within the OSB.

As part of the World Bank’s Green OIZ program, a wastewater recovery facility with an initial capacity of 25,000 m³/day will be established in COIZ. The plan is to recover the produced wastewater and use it as a secondary water source for 17 companies within the OSB. This is expected to help reduce the pressure on water resources and contribute to the sustainable management of these resources. In this context, a comprehensive feasibility study is being conducted. The study aims to present detailed outcomes evaluating the project’s technical, economic, environmental, and social impacts.

Türkiye: A Low Carbon and Climate Resilient Pathway Analysis for the Fertiliser Sector

GTE and ESCON companies are technical contractors, and the Ministry of Industry and Technology is the beneficiary of the “Türkiye: A Low Carbon and Climate Resilient Pathway Analysis for the Fertiliser Sector” project financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). The aim of this project is to determine a roadmap for the Turkish fertiliser industry and to harmonise with the European Green Deal in this context.

The greenhouse gas and policy interaction model to be developed and the effects of the EU Emissions Trading System and the Border Carbon Regulation Mechanism will be examined by analysing the current situation and emission reduction scenarios within the scope of the project. In the study, which will be contributed by the leading fertiliser producer companies in Turkey, relevant public institutions, and national and international non-governmental organisations, precise results will be obtained about the investment and technology needs for the sector for decarbonisation in the medium and long-term.

Increasing Wastewater Recovery Opportunities in Bursa Demirtas Organised Industrial Zone

GTE has carried out studies for the efficient use of water and increasing the possibilities of recycling wastewater in the facilities located in Bursa Demirtas Organised Industrial Zone (DOSAB).

Due to the expected increase in water consumption in the industry, the impact of climate change on water resources, and the rise in water costs, wastewater recovery opportunities should be increased, and the sustainability of the water provided by DOSAB to its participants should be ensured. While reducing the use of underground water resources in the project, it is aimed to strengthen the competitiveness of companies in international platforms by increasing the rate of recovered water.

The project report “Creating a Roadmap for the Development of the Wind Turbine Recycling Sector in Izmir” is published

We have completed the project “Creating a Roadmap for the Development of the Wind Turbine Recycling Sector in Izmir Province”, which we provided technical consultancy as GTE, carried out by Izmir Development Agency.

Within the scope of the project, we evaluated the cyclical management possibilities of wind turbine components, which have started to attract attention in the world in recent years. We hope that the project outputs will be beneficial for all stakeholders in terms of #sustainability in the rapidly developing wind industry in Izmir and Turkey.

Continued Clean Production Work!

We have completed our first round of field studies within the scope of the “Circular Economy and Resource Efficiency Platform Project (DEKVEP)” carried out in cooperation with SKD Turkey (BCSD Turkey) and Istanbul Chamber of Industry (ISO) and supported by the Istanbul Development Agency within the framework of the Innovative Istanbul Financial Support Program.

We will focus on the dimensions of the opportunities we will reveal with the clean production studies we will carry out in 21 companies selected from the plastics, textile and white goods sectors, which will increase the competitiveness of the relevant sectors and strengthen the hand of the companies in the fight against climate change.

Mey|Diageo- Water Replacement Project in Manisa Region

Within the scope of Mey|Diageo’s Ecosystem 2030 targets determined at the global level, the “Drip Irrigation” project was realized as the first water supply project of GTE in Alasehir, Manisa Region. In the project, where EWA Corporate Consulting is a project partner, infrastructure improvement was made by working with local municipalities and a local irrigation cooperative to establish a more efficient drip system.

The main purpose of the project is to increase the product quality, increase the yield and increase the income of the farmers in the vineyards of the region. Thanks to the project, it was foreseen that 50% savings could be achieved in the amount of water used, and more than 15,100 cubic meters of water was recovered in 2022.
