ISTAC Inc is an Istanbul-based environmental services company responsible for municipal waste and resource management for the Istanbul region. Associated with the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, it plans, develops, and operates infrastructure across the city’s waste value chain.
The company’s activities span solid waste transfer and sanitary landfill operations, materials recovery and recycling, composting, medical waste treatment, and energy recovery from waste, including waste-to-energy and landfill gas-to-energy generation. ISTAC also undertakes environmental monitoring and compliance functions and provides ancillary services such as street cleaning and marine waste collection.
Through recycling and energy recovery, ISTAC supports circular-economy goals by diverting waste from landfill and supplying electricity generated from recovered resources. Its operations intersect with the broader chemicals and materials ecosystem via feedstock recovery, emissions control, and adherence to national and EU-aligned environmental standards.
