Abstract
Aim: Increasing industrialization has increased the demand for raw materials and the uncontrolled consumption of natural resources. Therefore, sustainability activities are at risk. Waste management is one of the basic parameters for the continuation of sustainability. In this study, circular economy and the importance of electronic waste in this economy are emphasized. The benefits of adding electronic waste to Turkey’s circular economy have been discussed and it has been aimed to raise awareness on this issue. Method: The information obtained by examining the published reports, studies, and current data on this subject has been evaluated and interpreted. Findings: The basis of the circular economy is the conversion of end-of-life wastes into an economic value through recycling or recovery using appropriate processes. The participation of electronic waste in circular economy practices will ensure that the harmful effects that may occur because of the storage and disposal of these wastes will be eliminated. Conclusion: Turkey should provide due importance to the circular economy process. It is essential to include electronic waste in this process. It is thought that the sustainability of this situation will contribute to both the Turkish economy and the protection of the environment and public health.
