Zero waste has an important position in the circular economy model in terms of manufacturing recyclable products instead of products to be consumed quickly, reducing the amount of waste, developing and implementing recycling/reuse technologies, and thus ensuring resource efficiency. A zero-waste strategy is one of the basic steps to achieve the goal of the circular economy. The number of studies conducted on Turkey's zero waste management strategies referring to the circular economy is quite limited. To fill this gap in the literature, this study aims to identify the potential barriers which have an important role in zero waste management practices in Turkey. Through a broad literature review and expert opinions, 12 key barriers for zero waste implementation in Turkey have been defined in view of circular economy principles. Then, fuzzy DEMATEL methodology is employed to examine which is the most influential barrier affecting zero waste management success and to identify the interdependence of these barriers. The results indicate that uncertainty of the goals and tactics relevant to the circular economy and lack of financial and economic aid are key causal barriers that affect Turkey's zero waste management.
零浪费在循环经济模式中占有重要地位，它可以制造可回收产品，而不是快速消费品，从而减少浪费量，开发和实施回收/再利用技术，从而确保资源效率。零浪费战略是实现循环经济目标的基本步骤之一。关于土耳其零浪费管理战略参照循环经济的研究数量相当有限。为了填补这一文献空白，本研究旨在确定在土耳其零浪费管理实践中具有重要作用的潜在障碍。通过广泛的文献回顾和专家意见，根据循环经济原则，确定了土耳其实施零浪费的 12 个关键障碍。然后，采用模糊 DEMATEL 方法来检验影响零浪费管理成功的最具影响力的障碍，并确定这些障碍的相互依存关系。结果表明，与循环经济相关的目标和策略的不确定性以及缺乏财务和经济援助是影响土耳其零浪费管理的关键因果障碍。
