“…Consequently, specific information on what (recyclables and non-recyclables), where (location of recycling containers), and how to recycle would enhance recycling behaviour [15,23,24]. Although the influence of information is mixed and observed to be behaviour specific [25], it may probably differentiate perceived recyclers from non-recyclers [13].…”

Recycling information can be complex and often confusing which may subsequently reduce the participations in any waste recycling schemes. As a result, this research explored the roles as well as the importance of a holistic approach in designing recycling information using 15 expert-based in-depth interviews. The rationale was to offer a better understanding of what constitutes waste, recycling, and how recycling information should be designed and presented to make recycling more attractive/convenient. Based on the research participants’ perceptions with supports from the existing studies, this research sub-categorised recycling information into three different themes, termed the “WWW” of recycling information components. As a result, these components (or attributes) were extensively described (using findings of semi-structured interviews) to elicit pragmatic guidance for practitioners, policy-makers, and other stakeholders in designing structured communication or information strategies that may simplify and subsequently increase waste-recycling practices. The policy implications of holistic information in enhancing recycling are further discussed.

“…Kelly'nin öncülüğündeki çalışmada, Massey Üniversitesi'ndeki 1400 öğrenci ve akademik personel üzerine yürüttükleri çalışmalarında üniversite öğrencilerinin ve akademisyenlerinin geri dönüşüme genel anlamda olumlu baktıkları sonucuna ulaşmışlardır. Ayrıca görünürlüğü artırılmış olan geri dönüşüm kutularının üniversitede geri dönüşüm oranını ciddi ölçüde artırabileceği sonucuna ulaşmışlardır [10]. Malakahmad ise yürüttükleri çalışmalarında akademisyen ve öğrencilerin % 80'nin geri dönüşüme destek vermek istedikleri ancak sadece %53'ünün bu fikri uygulamaya geçirebildiği sonucuna ulaşmışlardır.…”

ÖZGeri dönüşüm; doğal kaynaklarımızın tüketimini azaltarak enerji ve hammadde tasarrufu sağlar, iş imkânı olanaklarını arttırır, maliyetleri azaltarak ülke ekonomisine katkıda bulunur. Geri dönüşüm sektöründe ülke olarak oldukça geri seviyelerde olmamızın nedenleri hep tartışma konusu olmuştur. Atık yönetiminde yapılan hataları doğru tespit etmek en uygun stratejiye yönelmemizi sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışmada ülkemizde geri dönüşüm sektörüne ait ve Bilim, Sanayi, Teknoloji Bakanlığınca belirlenmiş olan sorun alanları incelenerek Dematel ve Gri Dematel yöntemleri ile önceliklendirilmiştir. Daha sonra da bu önceliklendirmelere uygun görülen politikalar değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda atık yönetimi konusunda uygulama eksikliklerinin en önemli sorun alanı olduğu belirlenmiş ve sorunun üstesinden gelmek için dikkat edilmesi gereken politikalar sıralanmıştır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Geri Dönüşüm, Dematel, Gri Dematel Evaluation of problem areas related to the recycling sector via dematel and grey dematel method ABSTRACT Currently, people must make well and clean decisions in difficult living and working conditions. To survive in such a Recycling saves energy and raw materials by reducing the consumption of our natural resources, increases job opportunities and contributes to the country's economy by reducing costs. The reason we are quite back in the recycling sector as a country has always been the subject of debate. Identifying correctly the mistakes made in waste management will provide us to tend the right strategy. In this study, the problem areas identified by T.C. Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology related to recycling sector are prioritized by Dematel and Grey Dematel methods. Then, the policies considered appropriate to these priorities were evaluated. As a result of the study, it has been determined that the lack of implementation in waste management is the most important problem area and the policies that should be paid attention from the top of the problem are listed.

“…Present result is attributed to lack of appropriate waste bins in schools to encourage better recycling behavior (De Vega et al, 2003;Smyth et al, 2010;Kelly et al, 2006;Malakahmad et al, 2010;Mason et al, 2003). Throwing of SW outside school perimeter will result to litter and spillages in schools (Elemile and Benjamin, 2011).…”

“…The institution accommodates the bulk of younger population and must be given proper training on SWM. Further, schools with better SWM practice showed positive response by providing SW recycling options (Smyth et al, 2010;Mbuligwe, 2002;Mason et al, 2003;Malakahmad et al, 2010;Kelly et al, 2006;Felder et al, 2001;De Vega et al, 2003;. Consequently, schools can implement a structure to mitigate SWM issues.…”

This paper tried to descriptively determine the practice of secondary public schools in Cagayan de Oro Philippines, vital sector to initialize information drive in students and community. This was conducted to identify the extent of the Department of Education (DepEd) and Republic Act 9003 mandate on SWM to public secondary schools. A survey questionnaire was administered to 45 science teachers and followed by ocular visit to surveyed schools. Overall, the survey showed positive level of awareness, attitude, and practices of teachers towards SWM. Practices however were selectively better in some schools through establishing recycling and composting options. Generally, the absence of a recommended material recovery facility (MRF) was common. Present findings served as basis to review existing policy framework in DepEd and the local government units (LGUs) to support SWM in educational sectors.
