İnşaat atıkları için yeşil tedarik zinciri yönetimi: Türkiye uygulaması

Growth of population and industrialization causes new demand areas according to the daily needs. Residents, shopping malls, hotels, workplaces and other centers are being built every day in an increasing trend to meet residents' requirements. For this reason, construction industry is growing day by day that managing a project becomes more important. It is known that project management has three major parameters to be optimized, as content, time and cost to reach a high level of quality. These parameters are also essential for a construction project to satisfy customers on time. Today it is also critical to protect the environment while doing a work either at a manufacturing or at a construction site. Environmental problems and growth of construction industry causes a new topic to manage construction waste with the help of green supply chain management (GSCM). GSCM reduces energy usage and waste, so it prevents any problems that will occur in human health and environment. To decrease waste amount with the help of GSCM in construction site, there has to be waste management regulations to force producers and consumers. European Union Council published a waste management directive in 2008 that gives some goal numbers to manage construction waste to minimize the environmental effect. They give a waste management plan that will end up with reduction of 70% of construction and demolition waste that will be reused, recycled or recovered in 2020. The aim of this study is to explore the cost-benefit and social benefit reflections of green supply chain management practices in Turkey under the influence of recent government mandated regulations with an emphasis on green supply chain and reverse logistics in construction and demolition waste compared to EU 2008 directive. As Turkey is a candidate EU member this study is analyzing how close it is to the directives mentioned above. A green supply chain management flow chart is established to understand the CDW management system clearly in Turkey. Based on the literature review and case study examples from Turkey a model is built and propositions regarding green supply chain management and reverse logistics are formulated.
