Zero waste practices and recommendations in concrete production plants

In this study, the current situation of concrete production plants and their applications within the scope of the relevant regulation were evaluated by considering the situation of concrete plants producing in Konya and surrounding provinces. Within the scope of the study, more than twenty concrete batching plants were visited or contacted, and data were obtained by surveying their practices. As a result of the examinations and interviews with the relevant people, some of the facilities have systems that they have put into practice in order to reduce waste and prevent waste, apart from the legal regulations, and some of them are based on fulfilling the minimum values of the regulation they are attached to and some of them ensure the regular disposal of the wastes generated in the facility. It has been observed that its compliance with the legislation is official, but it has been disposed of illegally. On the subject of zero waste, it has been determined that most of them are aware of the practices, but there are not enough practices related to the subject.
