Importance of Solid Waste Management on Composting, Problems and Proposed Solutions: The Case of Turkey
Abstract
The high generation rates of organic waste and their open dumpsite in landfills are resulting in some adverse affects related with environment, economy and social life. Composting represents one of cleaner technologies in diverting organic pollutants from landfill. According to the recent statistics, the amount rate of municipal waste generated in Turkey in 2018 was nearly 32.2 tons. Comparable to the other countries waste management systems, it is a fore thought to arrange of municipal wastes in Turkey with the most suitable and economical methods. Municipal waste management technologies asnd strategies was based on the objectives of the Waste Landfill Regulation and Packaging Wastes Control Regulation. In the recent case, there are 8 biological waste treatment processing facilities in Turkey. Additionally, there are 6 mechanical-biological pre-treatment and recycling process facilities where mixed municipal waste is treated. In the management strategies, the waste formed in 2023 was targeted to 65% landfilled and 35% recovery. In this case study, details of municipal waste problems and achievment scenarios in Turkey and in other similar countries are been examined and results are discussed. It is seen that composting is still not a common method in the cities of many countries and Turkey due to some significiant problems. When administrative and technical factors are evaluated, waste transferring to landfill and biogas recovery is the best, easiest and economical method in the country. It is understood that biological and solid waste management is a very important work. This process play a significiant role for management system. Additionally, managements about national zero waste activities in Turkey and especially Istanbul city are still in the first step and this process need long time period to have better results.
