Note: The amount of wastewater treated outside the municipal facilities is included. Figures in the table may not sum up
due to rounding.

In order to collect and treat wastewater from settlements and to protect the environment and
human health, the strategic target of the MoEUCC has been set as increasing the population of
municipalities with wastewater treatment service to 100% in 2028 and the works are carried
out within this framework.

C.4.3. Organised Industrial Zones and Individual Industries Wastewater Infrastructure
Facilities
Solving the environmental problems arising from industrialisation and ensuring the controlled
development of industrialisation can be achieved by disciplining the industry. Organised indust-
rial zones have important functions in terms of disciplining the industry, protecting the environ-
ment and supporting the enterprises to make production in accordance with environmental
norms. The use of common treatment facilities in the prevention of environmental pollution
caused by industry is one of the most important advantages of organised industrial zones.

There are 361 Organised Industrial Zones in Türkiye. The General Directorate of Industrial Zones
of the Ministry of Industry and Technology provides loans to OIZs for the construction of was-
tewater treatment plants, which play a key role in reducing the environmental impact of OIZs
in production. Out of 361 OIZs, 281 are active and wastewater is treated and discharged in 173 of
them. The number of OIZs with wastewater treatment plants is 123. General Directorate of In-
dustrial Zones has 76 projects in its investment programme for 2024. In addition to wastewater
treatment plant projects, loans are also provided for water recovery projects, which are beco-
ming increasingly important today.
