Eti Soda: Natural Sodium Carbonate and Sodium Bicarbonate Producer of Turkey

Eti Soda was the first facility in the world to utilise innovative solution mining technology on a commercial scale. Today, Eti Soda produces over 1.5 million tonnes of Soda Ash and 200,000 tonnes of sodium bicarbonate every year, sold to our customers in Turkey and exported around the world.

Eti Soda is located in the same geographic region as Kazan Soda, and has been successfully producing for over 10 years. Following over US$ 700 million of initial investment, commercial operations started in 2009. We further expanded our production facilities in 2017 and today Eti Soda produces over 1.5 million tonnes of Soda Ash and 200,000 tonnes of sodium bicarbonate every year.

Eti Soda was the first facility in the world to utilise innovative solution mining technology on a commercial scale and has almost 25 years of remaining mineable trona reserves.

The trona solution is taken into the monohydrate process in our facilities and converted to the Sodium Carbonate and Sodium Bicarbonate products. The products of ETI SODA, which are used in many sectors such as glass production and baking powder, are exported all over the world, especially to European countries.
