Abstract

Döngüsel ekonominin “3R” eylemleri arasında yer alan geri dönüşüm, yeniden kullanım ve azaltma, kaynak verimliliğinin sağlanmasında önemli bir yere sahiptir. Kaynakların kullanımının en aza indirilmesi, yeniden kullanılmasının sağlanması ve yüksek standartlarda geri dönüştürülerek kazanımların elde edilmesi lojistik sektörünün sürdürülebilirlik çalışmalarına katkı sağlayabilir. Bu çalışma, sürdürülebilir lojistik çalışmaları dikkate alınarak döngüsel ekonomiyi blockchain teknolojisi ile ilişkilendirmeyi kapsamaktadır. Döngüsel ekonomi perspektifinden bakıldığında, sürdürülebilir lojistiği etkilediği düşünülen blockchain teknolojisinin özellikleri; karbon emisyonunun azaltılması, lojistik maliyetlerinin azaltılması, iletişim kolaylığı, bilgisayar korsanlığı, artan performans, veri değişmezliği, etkin bilgi paylaşımı, şeffaflık, belirsiz yasal durum, yeni teknoloji ve güven. Bu noktadan hareketle mevcut çalışmada blockchain teknolojisinin döngüsel ekonomiye giden yolda yeri incelenmiştir.

Blockchain Technology and Sustainable Logistics: Integration in the Circular Economy

Abstract

Recycling, reuse and reduction, which are among the “3R” actions of the circular economy, have an important place in ensuring resource efficiency. Minimizing the use of resources, ensuring their reuse and obtaining gains by recycling them at high standards can contribute to the sustainability studies of the logistics sector. This study covers associating the circular economy with blockchain technology, taking into account sustainable logistics studies. From the circular economy perspective, the features of blockchain technology that are thought to affect sustainable logistics; carbon emission reduction, logistics cost reduction, ease of communication, hacking, increased performance, data immutability, effective information sharing, transparency, uncertain legal situation, new technology and trust. From this point of view, the place of blockchain technology on the road to circular economy has been examined in the current study.
