4. Conclusion
The manufacturing industry is one of the solid waste resources
in Turkey as in other developing countries. Around 17,497 thousand
tonnes of solid waste were generated in 2004. In the same
year 149,265 thousand m3 of solid waste, 140 thousand m3 of
which were hazardous, were generated by the furniture industry,
a sub-sector of the manufacturing industry. There are infrastructural
and technical capacity issues in management of those solid
wastes created by the manufacturing industry in accordance with
by-laws and requirements on waste management.
