Özet

Reverse logistics facilities using local renewable energy sources can promote sustainable regional development in the TRB2 Region (Van, Muş, Bitlis, Hakkâri), which has high biomass potential. This study examined the economic, social, and environmental impacts of a recycling and distribution facility through SWOT analysis. Field research and regression analyses identified opportunities as the most critical factor. Muş was recognised as the most suitable location for the facility. Establishing such a facility could support sustainable development by utilising regional resources, reducing income disparities among provinces, creating added value for the local economy, and enhancing overall regional equity.
