Synopsis

Within the scope of this study, a perspective is presented on the solution of negative reflections on sustainable life due to the increase in carbon emission and energy consumption in connection with the cement production process, together with the concrete consumption due to the increasing and continuing need for housing with the increasing population in the globalizing world. . With the foresight that this situation will continue to increase in the coming period, it has been ensured that positive developments that can be seen in the green concrete perspective, which can be seen both by bringing the existing raw materials into the economy and by converting and using the raw materials that can be a solution to the aforementioned problems, are compiled. The materials used in the production of green concrete, whose value and importance is increasing rapidly in the construction sector today and which has started to be in demand, and the positive features they gain compared to traditional concrete are examined in detail. In addition to these, general information is given about the use of recycled products in the construction sector and their possible consequences. In the light of all the information obtained, it is necessary to research, discuss, develop, and create public awareness of the green concrete type in terms of sustainability and recycling.
