SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN SINOP ORGANIZED INDUSTRIAL ZONES

One of the most important present day problems of Organized Industrial Zones is their failure to efficiently manage wastes of the firms carrying out production in the zones. Combination of the concepts of development and industrialization, which do not harm the environment, which reduce consumption of natural resources, and which are sustainable in this respect, has become extremely important in management planning of the wastes originating from these areas. Solution of this problem is a condition that can be ensured by a good waste management planning and implementation. Creation of a waste inventory which is reliable and up-to-date at the same time, whereby the amount and composition of the wastes are identified for determination of the extent of this problem, is an important practice. Hence, storage and collection of the industrial wastes at the site of origination, and inventory information such as their amounts, provide guiding in prevention, reutilization and disposal of such wastes. In the study, the firms carrying out production in Sinop Organized Industrial Zone and productions by those firms according to their field of activity were examined, and inventory study aimed at obtaining information on any and all activities carried out by the firms within the scope of waste management was applied. Thus, it has been possible to obtain the general waste information of the firms available so far and implementation data pertaining to storage and transport of the wastes. These planning actions have been evaluated as required by the current management guidelines. Furthermore, a recommendation plan comments has been established for sustainable management of the wastes of Sinop Organized Industrial Zone in the conclusion report.
