Abstract

Hızlı tempolu küresel ekonomi doğrultusunda gezegenimiz küresel ısınma, ekolojik bozulma ve biyoçeşitlilik kayıpları ile ilgili her yıl daha da kötüleşen rekorlara tanık olmaktadır. Dünyanın farklı, özellikle de gelişmiş bölgelerinde ‘aşırı’ hatta ‘hiper’ tüketim yaşanmakta, kaynaklar temel ihtiyaçlardan ziyade sınırsız istekleri karşılamak için tüketilmektedir. Nüfus ve tüketimdeki artışların, doğal kaynaklarını daha da fazla tüketmesi ve aşırı atık oluşumunu ağırlaştırması beklenmektedir. Tüm bunların gerisinde, aşırı ve sürekli tüketimi tetikleyen stratejilerden biri olarak 1929 Büyük Buhranından sonra uygulanmaya başlayan planlı eskitme, günümüzde de yaygın bir strateji olarak uygulanmaya devam etmektedir. Bu gizli ve iyi kurgulanmış stratejiye dikkat çekmeyi amaçlayan bu çalışmada, planlı eskitme sorunu ve uygulamaları incelenmekte, planlı eskitmenin çevre güvenliği için niçin bir tehdit oluşturduğu yanıtlanmaya çalışılmakta ve bu sorunu ele almak için AB’nin son politika ve eylemlerinin etkinliği değerlendirilmektedir.

PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE: A HIDDEN THREAT TO ENVIRONMENTAL SECURITY AND THE RECENT EU POLICY

Year 2022, Issue: 127, 637 - 664, 12.01.2023
https://doi.org/10.52836/sayistay.1217903

Abstract

Through the fast-paced global economy, our planet witnesses worsening records on global warming, ecological deterioration, and biodiversity losses each year. While ‘over’ or even ‘hyper’ consumption is experienced in various, especially in the developed parts of the world, resources are being depleted to meet infinite desires rather than basic needs. The growth in population and consumption is expected to further deplete natural resources and aggravate excessive waste generation. Behind the scenes, as one of the triggering strategies of this excessive and continuous consumption, planned obsolescence, which has been widely employed since the 1929 Great Depression, remains a prevalent strategy in practice. With the aim to draw attention to this hidden and well-established strategy, this study examines the planned obsolescence issue and its practices, seeks to answer why planned obsolescence poses a threat to environmental security, whilst evaluates the effectiveness of the recent EU policies and actions to tackle this issue.
