Abstract

Rapid developments in technology and increasing consumer demand in the last century have revealed the problem of electrical and electronic waste (e-waste). Today; with rapid industrialization, urbanization, population growth, and economic developments, this problem has grown even more and become a global environmental problem. The amount of e-waste per person in Türkiye is around 7-8 kg. It is thought that e-waste, which is tried to be destroyed by incineration due to its heavy metal content, will reach 640 thousand tons in 2024. In this case, it causes serious negative effects on human and environmental health in the world and Turkey. At this point, decision-making mechanisms need to ensure e-waste management in a way that causes the least harm to the environment by creating effective waste management strategies for the recovery of e-waste. In this context, the study aims to examine the electrical and electronic waste potential in Bitlis, which was selected as a pilot province within the framework of sustainable development, and to present suggestions for the environmental and economic evaluation of these wastes. In addition, the study tried to reveal the benefits to be provided by electrical and electronic recycling in the context of the economic and environmental effects of sustainable development.
