Endüstriyel Ekolojiyi Anlamak Adına Endüstriyel Ortakyaşarlık Örneklerinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

It is clearly realized that a production and consumption cycle is well over the earth carrying capacity and resources are used in an unsustainable manner. It is not possible to maintain the current situation in the long term and it is inevitable that the structural transformations of production and consumption routines will be implemented rapidly. In the current system of production and consumption, called the linear economy, wastes contain raw materials that are not fully used, and they have the potential to be cyclical material for many industries. With advances in design and technology, raw materials, finished products or semi-products can have more added value throughout their lives, which can reduce material and energy requirements. The concept of industrial symbiosis, which developed in the logic of circular economy, is a renewal system that minimizes loss of resources, waste, emissions and energy losses by covering material and energy flows between enterprises in a given geographical area. In this study, the relationship between this symbiosis relationship and the current examples are mentioned.
