Özet:

Environmental analyses conducted in various industrial areas show that the waste materials, although they have different properties in terms of volume and composition, are usually dischargeed with little or no treatment. In many developed countries, new approaches and techniques have been adopted as it is clear that the classic environmental protection approaches that focus on pollution control (pipe-end treatment technologies) are not an effective environmental management. Implementing an integrated management for all raw materials, produced products and formed waste can be possible through pollution prevention approaches where resource consumption and waste minimization are effectively designed. To these objectives, clean production and similar environmentally friendly techniques should be applied. Clean production in the industry prevents or minimizes the negative environmental effects that may occur throughout the product’s lifetime until the raw material is converted into a product and is eventually eliminated. In this context, preventive environmental management and clean production practices have become increasingly important and numerous programs and projects are carried out by national and international organizations to provide the support they need to various industries. The aim of this study is to investigate clean production-oriented approaches and cyclic environmental policies in the industry, as well as to evaluate efficiency strategies.
