Özet:

 Plastic is a material used in every field today. Most plastics cannot be recycled after use. Waste is generally destroyed by burning. There are various views on whether this disposal of plastic waste will affect carbon emissions and healthcare. The fact that China is the country that consumes the most plastic in the world poses serious challenges in terms of management of plastic waste. In this study, the relationship between plastic consumption, carbon emissions and health expenditures in China, which was the largest plastic consumer for the period 1990-2019, is examined with the Fourier Toda-Yamamoto causality test. The study results show that there is a causal relationship from plastic consumption to carbon emissions and health expenditures. Additionally, according to the findings, there is a causal relationship from carbon emissions to health expenditures. These results show that plastic consumption has direct and indirect effects on health expenditures. In this context, it is recommended that policy makers review policies regarding plastic waste management.

 Plastik günümüzde her alanda kullanılan bir materyaldir. Plastiklerin büyük bir bölümü kullanıldıktan sonra geri dönüştürülememektedir. Atıklar genellikle yakılarak yok edilmektedir. Plastik atıkların bu şekilde bertarafının karbon emisyonlarını ve sağlık hizmetleri etkileyeceği konusunda çeşitli görüşler bulunmaktadır. Çinin dünyanın en fazla plastik tüketen ülkesi olması, plastik atıkların yönetimi açısından ciddi zorluklar ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışmada, 1990-2019 dönemi için en fazla plastik tüketicisi olan Çinde plastik tüketimi, karbon emisyonları ve sağlık harcamaları arasındaki ilişki Fourier Toda-Yamamoto nedensellik testiyle incelenmektedir. Çalışma sonuçları, plastik tüketiminden karbon emisyonlarına ve sağlık harcamalarına doğru bir nedensellik ilişkisi olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca bulgulara göre karbon emisyonlarından sağlık harcamalarına doğru bir nedensellik ilişkisi bulunmaktadır. Bu sonuçlar plastik tüketiminin sağlık harcamaları üzerinde doğrudan ve dolaylı etkileri olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda politika yapıcıların plastik atık yönetimine ilişkin politikaları gözden geçirmesi önerilmektedir.
