Istanbul, with a population of around 13 million people, is located between Europe and Asia and is the biggest city in Turkey. Metropolitan Istanbul produces about 14,000 tons of solid waste per day. The aim of this study was to assess the situation of municipal solid-waste (MSW) management in Istanbul. This was achieved by reviewing the quantity and composition of waste produced in Istanbul. Current requirements and challenges in relation to the optimization of Istanbul's MSW collection and management system are also discussed, and several suggestions for solving the problems identified are presented. The recovery of solid waste from the landfills, as well as the amounts of landfill-generated biogas and electricity, were evaluated. In recent years, MSW management in Istanbul has improved because of strong governance and institutional involvement. However, efforts directed toward applied research are still required to enable better waste management. These efforts will greatly support decision making on the part of municipal authorities. There remains a great need to reduce the volume of MSW in Istanbul.
伊斯坦布尔，拥有约 1300 万人口，位于欧洲和亚洲之间，是土耳其最大的城市。大都市伊斯坦布尔每天产生约 14000 吨固体废物。本研究旨在评估伊斯坦布尔市固体废物（MSW）管理的现状。这是通过审查伊斯坦布尔产生的废物的数量和组成来实现的。还讨论了与优化伊斯坦布尔 MSW 收集和管理系统相关的当前要求和挑战，并提出了一些解决所确定问题的建议。评估了从垃圾填埋场回收固体废物，以及垃圾填埋场产生的沼气和电力的数量。近年来，由于强有力的治理和机构参与，伊斯坦布尔的 MSW 管理得到了改善。然而，仍需要努力进行应用研究，以实现更好的废物管理。这些努力将极大地支持市政当局的决策。仍需要大量减少伊斯坦布尔的 MSW 量。
