Lühikirjeldus: This thesis examines how EU plastic waste exports to Türkiye create neo-colonial relations by externalizing environmental and social costs from European consumers to Turkish receiving regions. Classified as recyclable in European records, these plastics end up in informal sorting yards and illegal dump sites, particularly in the Adana-Mersin corridor. The study combines policy analysis, trade data (2018–2025), and Adana fieldwork to trace regulatory and social-ecological displacement. It argues that EU governance frameworks are structurally designed to record compliance at export without verifying outcomes at destination, making harm invisible by design. The central finding is that European urban sustainability structurally depends on displacing its material consequences to peripheries that neither measure nor bear them.
