The Selection of the process of waste electric and electronical equipment management

Abstract

Being a consumption society; avoiding its responsibilities is the handicap of today’s world. During last decades, according to the mass of human population and its demands, rapid urbanization, technological innovations, shorten product life and market expansion of electrical electronic equipments; a new type of problem challenge the world biologically, physically and socially which define as Waste of Electrical Electronical Equipment. It’s becoming larger quantities of waste stream around the world which threats the human health and poses risks to the environment. To handle these consequences, the process of waste management has to be drawn clearly from the production to the disposal, but the requirements, capabilities and process of management differ relatively to existing methods, status and economy of country. This paper provides a general overview of WEEE data and management practices employed in the world and Turkey. In Turkey, adequate legal and legislative arrangement, lack of social and governmental responsible and weak capabilities of industry to implement and enforce the waste management create a conflict typical for developing countries and constrain the right and useful application possibilities to manage WEEE as reuse or recycling. In this paper, WEEE’s data taken from the fabric Oyak Renault is operated with the processes different which are modeled according to reuse and recycling methods and are compared by cooperation of some expertise firms, civic governments and ministry of environment. The target is analyzing the effectiveness in perspective of environmental impact, recovery quantity and economic benefit. The study is realized by two multi criteria decision making practices: one of the multi objective decision making, Fuzzy Goal Programming and one of the multi criteria decision making, Fuzzy AHP focused on the selection of the right model. Thus the comparison of the processes becomes the comparison of two practices. The problems are solved by Lindo and according to the direction of the results the selection of processes and choices are criticized. According to results, it is observed the proposed models are preferable and effective than existing. Although a proposed, developed model for WEEE management need moreinvestments and provisions; their economic, quantitative, environmental recovery and socialimpact achieve more advantages over the long terms.
