Özet:

 Leather and leather products industry is one of the locomotive sectors in the Turkish economy. Since the leather industry is a labor-intensive line of business and causes serious environmental pollution in its operation, it is seen that production has shifted from developed countries to developing countries. The sector harms the environment due to the chemicals used. Although the cost is high in organized industrial zones where leather is produced, solid waste, water treatment and recycling facilities are established to reduce the damage to the environment and human health. Usak province, which has proven its expertise in the field of sheep skin processing, has been undertaking the most laborious and difficult process in the sector for years. In the studies conducted with leather processing companies in the Usak Leather Mixed Organized Industry, sustainability studies focus only on energy consumption, chemical use and solid waste management, along with legal obligations. However, it is observed that the sustainability perception in the design process in product development activities within the scope of fashion trends in leather production is ignored by the companies. In this study, interviews were conducted to reveal how leather companies in Usak perceive the concept of sustainability and what kind of activities they engage in, apart from domestic legal practices or expectations of foreign markets. In the next part of the study, experimental surface applications were made by considering the design process in order to gain the economy by determining the products that are separated as surface defective, low added value or cutting waste leathers by the collaborating companies and which are out of the production process.

 Deri ve deri ürünleri sanayi,Türk ekonomisinde ihracat ve ithalat bakımından değerlendirildiğinde lokomotif sektörlerden biridir. Deri sanayi, emek isteyen bir iş kolu olduğu ve işlentisinde ciddi bir çevre kirliliğine yol açtığı için gelişmiş ülkelerden gelişmekte olan ülkelere doğru üretimlerin kaydığı görülmektedir. Sektör, kullanılan kimyasal maddelerden dolayı çevreye zarar vermektedir. Deri üretimi yapılan organize sanayi bölgelerinde maliyeti yüksek olsa da katı atık, su arıtma ve geri kazanım tesisleri kurularak çevreye ve insan sağlığına verilecek zararların azaltılması için çalışılmaktadır. Küçükbaş hayvan derisi işleme alanında uzmanlığını kanıtlamış olan Uşak ili, yıllardır sektörün en zahmetli ve zor sürecini üstlenmektedir. Uşak Deri Karma Organize sanayinde yer alan deri işleme firmaları ile yapılan çalışmalarda sürdürülebilirlik çalışmalarının yasal zorunluluklarla birlikte sadece enerji tüketimi, kimyasal kullanımı ve katı atık yönetimi üzerine yoğunlaşmaktadırlar. Ancak deri üretiminde moda trendleri kapsamında ürün geliştirme faaliyetlerinde tasarım sürecindeki sürdürülebilirlik algısının firmalarca göz ardı edildiği gözlenmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Uşak ilindeki deri firmalarının yurt içi yasal uygulamalar veya yurt dışı pazarların beklentileri dışında sürdürülebilirlik kavramını nasıl algıladıkları ve ne tür faaliyetlerde bulunduklarını ortaya koymak için görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın ilerleyen bölümünde işbirliği yapılan firmaların yüzey kusurlu, katma değeri düşük veya kesim atık derileri olarak ayırdıkları ve üretim süreci dışında kalan ürünler belirlenerek ekonomiye kazandırılması için tasarım süreci gözetilerek deneysel yüzey uygulamaları yapılmıştır.
