Selection of electronic waste collecting facility location within the scope of sustainable logistics management

The core idea of sustainability is emphasized that all available resources are borrowed from future generations. The selfish development efforts of countries and individuals prevented environmental awareness and led to rapid progression in the negative direction. According to this reason, social development is based on sustainability and "Our Common Future" report issued by World Environment and Development Commission in 1987. In the logistics sector, sustainability has become more and more important. Increasing in the awareness of individuals on this issue has forced enterprises to be sensitive to environmental movements in the sectoral dimension. Reverse logistics activities by providing re-use of raw materials are decreasing the new raw material requirements of the enterprises and also helps to protect the nature by slowing the depletion of resources. The fact that the electronic wastes, which people consciously describe as a garbage are causing much more than the predicted damage to nature and to the environment shows that seriousness of the situation with current studies. Within the scope of the study, the applications for collecting electronic wastes within the framework of the Regulation on Control of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), which has been in force since 2012 in Turkey, has been examined on a legal basis. Lack of electronic waste collection facility in Antalya province is encouraged this thesis to weighting criterions via MACBETH method and sorting alternatives via WASPAS method.
