Özet:

 Water and sewerage administrations should not only manage water supply and wastewater disposal but also handle the management of waste generated by the infrastructure works carried out for this purpose in an integrated manner. In this study, national and international legislation related to the zero waste approach was reviewed and the implementation of the zero waste system in a water and sewerage administration was evaluated. In this context, the waste management system of Istanbul Water and Sewerage Administration ISKI was analyzed, with examples provided for the types of waste generated. Data on waste management were obtained from the records maintained by the ISKI Waste Management Unit. The decreasing trend in the amount of waste generated by the institution and the increase in the reuse ratio between 2019 and 2023 are important indicators of the effective implementation of a waste management system at ISKI during this period. This also holds significance in demonstrating improvements in the performance of the institutions zero-waste management system. Waste amounts were analyzed seasonally over the five-year period covered in the study, showing that 17 of the total waste was generated in winter and 33 in autumn. In 2020, the amount of waste generated decreased by approximately 43 compared to 2019, primarily due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In the study, the transportation cost of waste generated in different administrative units to the temporary storage area was also calculated. Since a significant amount of waste was transported from the European Side of Istanbul to the Anatolian Side of the city, it was proposed to establish a new storage area on the European Side. It was determined that implementing this recommendation would reduce the waste transportation cost by 68. It is thought that this recommendation will be a successful application for achieving efficient resource use, as targeted in the zero waste management system.

 Su ve kanalizasyon idareleri sadece su temini ve atıksu uzaklaştırma değil; aynı zamanda bu amaçla yapılan alt yapı çalışmaları ile bu çalışmalarda oluşan atıkların yönetimini ele alacak bütüncül bir yapıda olmalıdır. Bu çalışmada, sıfır atık yaklaşımı ile ilgili ulusal ve uluslararası mevzuat gözden geçirilmiş ve sıfır atık sisteminin bir su ve kanalizasyon idaresinde uygulanması değerlendirilmiştir. Bu çerçevede, İstanbul Su ve Kanalizasyon İdaresi İSKİnin atık yönetim sistemi incelenmiş, oluşan atık türleri örnekleriyle verilmiştir. Atık yönetimine ilişkin veriler, İSKİ Atık Yönetimi Birimi tarafından tutulan kayıtlardan elde edilmiştir. 2019 - 2023 yılları arasında kurumda oluşan atık miktarının azalma eğilimi göstermesi ve yeniden kullanım oranının artması söz konusu dönemde İSKİde etkin bir atık yönetimi yürütüldüğünü göstermesi açısından önemlidir. Bu durum, kuruma ait sıfır atık yönetim sistemi performansında gelişme kaydedildiğini ortaya koyması açısından da önem taşımaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında ele alınan beş yıllık dönem için mevsimlere göre atık miktarları incelenmiş, beş yıllık toplam atık miktarının 17sinin kış mevsiminde, 33ünün ise sonbahar mevsiminde oluştuğu hesaplanmıştır. 2020 yılında ise ağırlıklı olarak Covid-19 salgını nedeniyle oluşan atık miktarı 2019 yılına göre yaklaşık 43 azalmıştır. Yapılan çalışmada ayrıca farklı idari birimlerde oluşan atıkların, geçici depolama alanına taşınma maliyeti hesaplanmıştır. Önemli miktarda atığın İstanbulun Avrupa Yakasından şehrin Anadolu Yakasına taşınması sebebiyle Avrupa Yakasında yeni bir depolama alanı kurulması önerilmiştir. Bu önerinin uygulanması durumunda atık taşıma maliyetinin 68 düşeceği belirlenmiştir. Sıfır atık yönetim sisteminde hedeflenen verimli kaynak kullanımı açısından bu önerinin başarılı bir uygulama olacağı düşünülmektedir.
