Plastic Use Reorganisation…
Plastic is used in many areas such as packaging, building-construction, transportation, health, electrical-electronics,
agriculture, and sports-hobby-design (Saydaş Plastik, 2024). The composition of plastic is very resistant
to dissolution/degradation in the environment. This makes the existence of plastic in nature an environmental problem.
Depending on their type, plastics are symbolised by numbers within a triangle with three arrows. The main types of plastic and
some products according to their symbols are as follows (Renovables Verdes, 2024; Sıfır Atık Projesi, 2024):
1) PET or PETE (Polyethylene Terephthalate): Used as beverage-medicine bottles, rope, clothing, and carpet fiber. It is the most
recycled type of plastic.
2) HDPE (High Density Polyethylene): Used as milk-shampoo-soap-bleach and detergent bottles. It is mostly converted.
3) PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Used as non-food bottles, pipes, and windows. It is one of the most dangerous types of plastic
for health and the environment. It is usually converted.
4) LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene): Used as stretch film, sandwich box, plastic bag, and squeezable product bottle.
It is usually converted.
5) PP (Polypropylene): Used as yoghurt container, margarine box, and plastic bottle cap. It is rarely converted.
6) PS (Polystyrene): Used as paper cups, plastic cutlery, and packaging foam. It is rarely converted.
7) Other Plastics: Used as baby bottles, compact discs, and demijohns/carboys. It is rarely converted.
Moreover; There are also bioplastics, biodegradable plastics, thermoplastics, thermoset plastics, and microplastics.
The last of these is the type of plastic that is known today...

Sectoral Panorama of Mardin; Some Thematic Problems and Proposals for Their Solutions
(Mardin'in Sektörel Panoraması; Tematik Bazı Sorunlar ve Çözüm Önerileri)
The idea of preparing such a work is based on Mardin Artuklu University (MAU) and consultation meetings with sectoral
representative organisations in Mardin, Turkey. Public, private, and mixed sector representatives who came together with
MAU academicians in many meetings in the period 2022-23 negotiated on agriculture, industry, and service sectors; especially
grain, textile, and tourism, and determined the structural problems of the city/region within this framework and made
negotiations as a brainstorm for their solutions. Brief information on the book is as follows:
1) The book consists of 12 chapters, 4 for each sector namely agriculture, industry, and service.
2) At the beginning of each chapter, a table of contents and the titles of 'purposes, findings, and proposals' are given
in Turkish and English languages for a better understanding of the theme.
3) At the end of the book, there is a brief file on some selected sectoral problems of Mardin and their solutions by relevant
institutions as well.
4) Each part of the book includes either a field study or an econometric analysis. Because the aim is to identify the problems
by first hand and to propose concrete solutions accordingly.>>>
