Towards a Circular Economy with Stakeholder Engagement and Key Strategy Approach
摘要
Increasing climate change and population necessitate a sustainable approach. In recent years, the transition to a Circular Economy, which aims to minimize waste while maximizing resource use, has become a critical approach to ensure sustainability. Circular Economy, which is widely used in developed countries, is also becoming a focus of interest for developing countries. This study aims to determine and evaluate strategies with stakeholder participation to achieve a Circular Economy. Strategies are determined by conducting a literature review and obtaining expert opinions, and then a survey is conducted with 203 experts. The strategies evaluated for Türkiye are examined in 8 main dimensions: Political and Legal, Design-based, Recycling and Transformation, Collaboration, Consumption and Usage, Digitalization and Technology-based, Financial, Education and Awareness. As a result of the study, the most important strategies are listed as “Development of Take-Back Systems”, “Traceability and Integration of Information”, and “Public Awareness Campaigns”. The study results contribute to developing countries, practitioners, and studies in terms of determining, evaluating, and creating action plans for appropriate strategies within the scope of the Circular Economy and constitute an important step towards achieving sustainability.
