Improvements 2025

During the period, our Company has made significant progress in line with its sustainability strategies and developments in carbon markets, and has currently reached a total of 760,000 tons of carbon credit certificates ready for sale. Furthermore, thanks to ongoing projects and our increasing operational capacity, it is projected that approximately 11 million tons of additional carbon credits will be generated over the next five years.

Considering the market developments under the CORSIA mechanism for the international aviation sector and the price forecast ranges published by MSCI (Phase I: 18–51 USD/ton CO₂e; subsequent periods: 27–91 USD/ton CO₂e), these developments present a significant revenue potential.

Our 2024 Sustainability Report, prepared in compliance with TSRS (Türkiye Sustainability Reporting Standards), was published on August 15.

Our Company has been included in the BIST Sustainability Index as of April 1, 2025, by meeting the index criteria.

The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process regarding the investment of an Advanced Recycling-Based Original Plastic Feedstock, Naphtha Substitute Pyrolysis Oil Facility, planned to be constructed on a total land area of 120,000 m² located at Parcel 13, Block 149, Kalabak Neighborhood, Aliağa District, İzmir Province, by our subsidiary Biotrend İleri Dönüşüm ve Yenilenebilir Enerji Teknolojileri Sanayi A.Ş., was completed on November 21, 2025.

Following the evaluation conducted by the Review and Evaluation Commission under the General Directorate of Environmental Impact Assessment, Permit and Inspection of the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, an “Environmental Impact Assessment Positive” decision has been granted for the aforementioned investment.

The registration application made under the “Plastic Waste Reduction Program” conducted by the international verification and certification body VERRA has been successfully completed. Biotrend Energy has become the first company in Turkey to complete the registration process in the category of plastic waste collection.
Within the scope of the project, plastic waste is effectively separated from mixed municipal waste through mechanical sorting and material recovery systems located at our integrated waste management facilities in the provinces of Bursa, Balıkesir, İzmir, and Uşak. These separated plastic wastes are directed to licensed interim storage facilities or recycling plants without being released into the environment, thus being included in recovery processes.
This project, which prevents plastic waste from harming the environment and contributes to the circular economy, has also integrated the creation and sale of plastic certificates into our company’s revenue model. Similar to carbon credit projects, plastic certificates are expected to become a significant value-added and sustainable income item in the near future.
This development is an indicator of Biotrend’s competence in developing internationally certified projects aligned with its strategy of generating value from waste, and it also reinforces our company’s leadership vision in sustainability and the circular economy.
