    Multi-Dimensional Sustainability Evaluation of Indigo Rope Dyeing With a Life Cycle Approach and Hesitant Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021-08) Fidan, Fatma Sener; Aydogan, Emel Kizilkaya; Uzal, Nigmet
    The dyeing process of denim fabric production has the highest potential for significant environmental and human health impacts of denim production, consuming vast amounts of water, chemicals, and dyes. This study aims to assess the sustainability of indigo rope dyeing (IRD) obtained by designing a new recipe with the chemical alternative assessment method. Not only environmental impacts, but also social, economic, and product quality dimensions were included in the multidimensional sustainability assessment. The hesitant fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (HF-AHP) method was used to determine the criteria weights of the determined dimensions. The environmental and social impacts of the existing and newly designed IRD process were evaluated using the gateto-gate life cycle assessment (LCA) and social life cycle assessment (S-LCA) approach. According to the LCA results, the green IRD process exhibited better performance in terms of all environmental impacts evaluated and the abiotic depletion potential of the conventional indigo IRD process can be reduced by 62.55% by applying the green IRD process. According to the HF-AHP results, the most important criteria were environmental impact with 33%, followed by social impacts with 27%, quality results with 23%, and economic results with 17% in assessing the IRD process's sustainability denim production. These results showed that the sustainability of the IRD process could be improved by substituting the chemicals and dyestuff with green alternatives.

    Investigating the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism Transition Process With Linguistic Summarization Method: A Situational Analysis of Exporting Countries
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024-08) Fidan, Fatma Sener; Aydogan, Sena; Akay, Diyar; Şener Fidan, Fatma
    The Paris Agreement holds significant importance since it establishes a global framework for addressing the issue of climate change and endeavors to mitigate the release of greenhouse gases. The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism was introduced as an integral component of this agreement, aiming to oversee the carbon emissions associated with imported items within the European Union and provide compensation for the emissions from the nations engaged in importation. It is essential to analyze the countries involved in exporting to the European Union within the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism context to mitigate carbon leakage and effectively support the objectives outlined in the Paris Agreement. This research investigated 104 nations engaged in exporting activities to 27 European Union member countries. The linguistic summarization method, a descriptive data analytics tool, was employed for the analysis. A total of 42 Combined Nomenclature codes were encompassed within the scope of evaluation throughout the transition phase of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. This study examines the characteristics of exporting nations based on three variables: The Environmental Performance Index, a sustainability indicator; the Region in which the countries are located as classified by the World Bank; and the quantity of Renewable Energy Consumption. Additionally, the study explores the characteristics of EU countries, focusing on their Environmental Performance Index score and geography. The study employed fuzzy sets and the fuzzy c-means algorithm as parts of the linguistic summarization technique. Polyadic quantifiers were used to extract linguistic summaries, resulting in the acquisition of 124,227 summaries. A total of 1594 summaries have a truth degree exceeding 0.9. The findings were effectively utilized to assess the influence of the linguistic summarization approach and offered a valuable viewpoint for decisionmakers needing more expertise in this domain.
