SIFIR ATIK YÖNETİMİNİN ÇEVRE ETİĞİ YAKLAŞIMLARI AÇISINDAN İNCELENMESİ

İnsan ihtiyaçlarının karşılanabilmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirilen üretim ve tüketim faaliyetleri atıkların ortaya çıkmasına neden olmaktadır. Atıkların insan ve çevre sağlığını riske atmadan işlenmesi ve/ veya bertaraf edilmesi atık yönetiminin temel amacıdır. Günümüzde birçok ülke, atık kaynaklı risklerin önlenebilmesi adına sıfır atık yönetimini benimsemiştir. Sıfır atık yönetimi kapsamında gerçekleştirilen atıkların yeniden kullanılması, geri dönüştürülmesi ve kazanılması gibi uygulamaların çevresel unsurlar üzerinde çeşitli etkileri bulunmaktadır. Sıfır atık yönetimi kapsamındaki uygulamaların hangilerinin çevre ve insan sağlığı açısından iyi ve doğru olduğunun tespit edilmesine yönelik tartışmalar, konuya insan ve çevre ilişkilerini sistematik bir şekilde inceleyen çevre etiği perspektifinden bakmayı mümkün kılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, sıfır atık yönetiminin çevre etiği yaklaşımları açısından incelenmesi ve ilgili yönetimin söz konusu yaklaşımlar içerisindeki konumunun tespit edilmesidir. Çalışma kapsamında, sıfır atık yönetimi ve çevre etiği yaklaşımları incelenmiş, söz konusu atık yönetim sisteminin çevre merkezli etik yaklaşım içerisinde konumlandırılmasının daha doğru bir bakış açısı olacağı tespit edilmiştir.

INVESTIGATION OF ZERO WASTE MANAGEMENT IN TERMS OF ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS APPROACHES

Production and consumption activities carried out in order to meet human needs cause the occurrence of waste. Processing and/or disposal of wastes without risking human and environmental health are the main purpose of waste management. Today, many countries have adopted zero waste management in order to prevent waste-related risks. Practices such as reuse, recycling and recovery of wastes within the scope of zero waste management have various effects on environmental elements. The discussions on determining which practices within the scope of zero waste management are good and bad on behalf of environment and human health make it possible to look at the issue from the perspective of environmental ethics, which systematically examines human and environment relations. This study aims to examine the zero waste management in terms of environmental ethics approaches and to determine the position of the relevant management within these approaches. Within the scope of the study, zero waste management and environmental ethics approaches were examined, and it was determined that positioning the mentioned waste management system in eco centric environmental ethics would be a more correct point of view.
