Sustainable Transformation: Konya Turns Waste into Raw Materials

The bioethanol plant within the Çumra Sugar Integrated Facilities produces ethyl alcohol and fertilizer from waste.

According to a statement from the company, the Çumra Sugar Integrated Facilities prioritize sustainability and waste utilization by turning every waste product into raw material for another plant.

The silage, which is obtained as a byproduct during bioethanol production, is used as a raw material in the organic fertilizer production plant.

In this facility, various types of organic fertilizers intended for different uses are produced and marketed. These fertilizers support organic farming and contribute to the export of agricultural products.

Molasses obtained from Konya Şeker's primary activity of sugar production is used as a raw material for the bioethanol plant.

This investment stands out as one of Turkey's largest in the field of sustainable industry.

The bioethanol plant at the Çumra Sugar Integrated Facilities, which has the largest production capacity in Turkey, uses molasses from sugar production as raw material. Through fermentation and distillation, it produces ethyl alcohol. The silage obtained from this process is then utilized as a raw material for organic fertilizer.
