Özet
The fundamental principle of sustainability is to prioritize human life while preserving diversity and ongoing production. With the use of marble in buildings for facade cladding, flooring applications, vertical surfaces, floor covering, stair steps and decorative purposes, resulting in the emergence of 1 million tons of marble waste, the number of businesses and factories is increasing in response to the increasing demand. It is produced annually in Turkey. The aim of this thesis is to examine the effect of the polyester binder used in artificial marble production on the physico-mechanical and sustainability properties of artificial marbles. Cement negatively affects the environment with CO2 emissions. Storage and disposal methods of waste in regular landfills bring great economic costs and increase environmental problems. In this study, fossiliferous limra, which are industrial waste materials, were used. Artificial marbles were produced using casting type polyester binder. With the physico-mechanical experiments carried out on artificial marble products, artificial marbles produced from fossil limra were compared with natural marbles. As a result, it has been observed that the produced artificial marble has better properties compared to FLM. More efficient use of domestic resources by transforming fossil limra into artificial marble, less demand on mines and less damage to nature, and minimizing the damage to the environment by utilizing marble paste stored as waste from mines will make a significant contribution to the regional economy.
