Engineering that turns waste into value
OCTOEN builds machines that treat organic waste right where it is created. We design and manufacture them in our own factory in Türkiye and support them in the US through OCTOEN USA.
Our journey: from Türkiye to the world
- 2020-2022
Laying the foundations
We started out in Türkiye to build zero-waste technology. Feedback from the field shaped our machines, and in 2022 ENTECH Istanbul and IFAT Eurasia brought us our first customers abroad.
- 2023
Going global
More than 400 machines went into service in Azerbaijan and more than 20 in Saudi Arabia, taking our industrial fleet past 750. We developed the ECO-130 for professional kitchens.
- 2024
On the international stage
We met the industry at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago and at a culinary academy in Chile. At COP29, the Government of Azerbaijan produced compost on site with our 1,500 kg machines.
- 2025
Istanbul headquarters
We opened our headquarters in Istanbul, closer to our customers and partners; engineering and production stay in our factory in Sivas.
- 2025
Integrated production, major references
Every production step now runs under one roof in our 10,000 m² factory. References include Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Parken Stadium and the award-winning market waste project of Üsküdar Municipality.
- 2026
Campuses and pyrolysis
Ibn Haldun University processes all of its campus waste with OCTOEN, and a plant that handles 1 metric ton a day runs at Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University. We started producing pyrolysis systems.
- 2027Plan
A pyrolysis plant in Illinois
We are preparing to open our first pyrolysis plant in Illinois, with a capacity of 20 metric tons a day: biochar and certified carbon credits from organic waste that cannot be composted.
OCTOEN in brief
We started in 2020 in Türkiye with a zero-waste goal. Today our machines run on four continents: on university campuses and in municipalities, stadiums, hotels and Michelin-starred kitchens.
