Abstract

This study aims to investigate the e-waste policies in Turkey and the rest of the world, to identify the problems during the realization of these policies and to develop policy proposals. In the study, we tried to clarify the conceptual framework of sustainable development and industrial ecology to emphasize the importance of e-waste policies in the community life. In addition, we have provided information on various policies and the results of these policies in the world through the related literature. As a result, it is emphasized that the decision makers take an active role in the policies to coordinate the economic units, and take on a new significance about economic, social, environmental and health dimensions of the e-waste policies.

Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma ve Endüstriyel Ekoloji Kapsamında E-atık Politikaları İçin Karşılaştırmalı Bir Analiz

Abstract

Bu çalışma, dünyada ve Türkiye’de uygulanan e-atık politikalarının incelenmesi, sorunların tespit edilmesi ve politika önerileri geliştirilmesini amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada, e-atık politikalarının toplum yaşamındaki önemini vurgulamak için sürdürülebilir kalkınma ve endüstriyel ekolojinin kavramsal çerçevesi netleştirmeye çalışılmıştır. Buna ek olarak, ilgili literatürden hareketle dünyadaki çeşitli politikalar ve bunların sonuçları hakkında bilgiler verilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, karar vericilerin ekonomik birimlerin koordine edilmesi için politikalarda aktif bir rol benimsemeleri ve e-atık politikalarının ekonomik, sosyal, çevresel ve sağlık boyutlarında yeni bir önem kazanmasının gerekliliği vurgulanmaktadır.
