Summary/Abstract: Material flow analysis is an effective analysis process to obtain information about the flow processes of resources within the urban system. In this way, material flow analysis ensures the management of wastes that arise with the use of environmental resources in production and consumption processes. Monitoring waste flows in the metabolic cycle in urban areas is important for a sustainable environment. This study aims to monitor the flow processes of solid waste that occurs in production and consumption processes in Turkey and to determine the level of success in terms of metabolic cycle. For this purpose, the metabolic flow processes of the solid waste generated in the production and consumption processes in Turkey were evaluated by the material flow analysis method. As a result of the analysis, it is seen that the metabolic cycle of the solid waste generated during the consumption and production stages is weak in Turkey.
