Bu çerçevede araştırma, sürdürülebilir üretim modellerine geçiş sürecindedöngüsel ekonomi uygulamalarının değer zinciri faaliyet ve aşamalarına nasıl yansıdığınıortaya koymayı hedeflemektedir. Bu çalışma, hazır giyim sektöründe döngüsel ekonomiilkelerinin benimsenmesinin değer zinciri faaliyetleri üzerindeki etkisini, Mavi şirketi örneğiüzerinden analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yaklaşımına dayalıbetimsel-analitik bir tek vaka çalışması tasarımı benimsenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, Mavi’nin 2024yılına ait Sürdürülebilirlik Raporu yönlendirilmiş içerik analizi yöntemi ile incelenmiştir.Sürdürülebilirlik raporunda yer alan döngüsel ekonomi uygulamaları 4R çerçevesi (Azaltma,Yeniden Kullanım, Geri Dönüşüm ve Geri Kazanım) kapsamında sınıflandırılarak Porter’ındeğer zinciri modeli çerçevesinde değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular, Mavi tarafından uygulanandöngüsel ekonomi uygulamalarının hammadde tedarikinden üretim ve dağıtıma, satış sonrasıhizmetlere kadar değer zincirinin temel ve destekleyici faaliyetlerine yayıldığınıgöstermektedir. Bu uygulamaların, kaynak kullanımının daha etkin yönetilmesi ve atıklarınazaltılması yoluyla operasyonel verimliliği desteklediği ve değer zinciri aşamaları arasındakibütünleşmeyi güçlendirdiği tespit edilmiştir.</p></abstract>

                            <p>The study emphasizes the necessity of adopting a more sustainable approach in productionprocesses, based on the increasing environmental problems associated with the linearproduction model. Within this framework, the research aims to reveal how circular economypractices are reflected in value chain activities and stages during the transition to sustainableproduction models. This study aims to analyze the impact of adopting circular economyprinciples on value chain activities in the apparel industry through the example of the Mavicompany. In the research, a descriptive-analytical single case study design based on aqualitative research approach was adopted. In this context, Mavi’s 2024 Sustainability Reportwas examined using the directed content analysis method. The circular economy practicesincluded in the sustainability report were classified within the 4R framework (Reduce, Reuse,Recycle, and Recover) and evaluated within the framework of Porter’s value chain model. Thefindings indicate that the circular economy practices adopted by Mavi are distributed acrossvarious value chain activities, ranging from raw material sourcing to manufacturing,distribution, and after-sales services. The implementation of these practices is associated withimprovements in operational efficiency through enhanced resource management and wastereduction, and it also contributes to greater integration among different stages of the valuechain.</p></trans-abstract>
