The TR83 region in Türkiye is recognized as one of the leading industrial centers of the Black Sea region with its efficient use of resources and wide range of activities. In the project carried out jointly by the University and the Central Black Sea Development Agency, the potential for optimizing resource use in the industrial sector of the region was evaluated to demonstrate circular economy applicability. Research was conducted to determine the current situation in the sector and to draw up a road map for the future. These surveys followed by a comprehensive field survey, where the data was processed and analyzed with the guidance of experts. Additionally, a Data SWOT Analysis was undertaken. In the research, the responses of companies in Amasya, Çorum, Samsun and Tokat provinces were analyzed. The findings highlighted the importance of implementing resource efficient approaches in the industrial sector. The proposed measures advocate the adoption of resource-efficient goods and the implementation of a circular economy strategy. The study also aims to identify requirements for environmentally friendly design and promote the use of best practices in industrial sectors and highlighted the need for a synchronized effort to achieve a future that is both ecologically sustainable and resource-optimized in the TR83 region.
