The 7.7 and 7.6 magnitude earthquakes in Kahramanmaras, with epicenters in Pazarcık and Elbistan, caused major destruction of infrastructure and superstructures and affected many provinces. Following these earthquakes, construction and demolition wastes created a major environmental problem and research on reuse and recycling processes has gained great importance. It is aimed to bring these waste materials back to the construction industry and create a sustainable construction model. In this study, especially the use of reinforced concrete wastes and different mix materials (tiles, marble, bricks, concrete, roof tiles, etc.) as recycling aggregate was investigated. After being ground to the appropriate sizes, the demolotion wastes were classified as both coarse and fine aggregates, and the reuse of single concrete (BETON) and mixed (IYA) waste materials in the construction field was investigated. In order for construction waste to be used as recycling aggregate, common test methods have been applied in terms of quality and durability. As a result of the study carried out, it is aimed to provide significant contributions to the economy by recycling BETON and IYA materials in an environmentally friendly manner after the separation of hazardous wastes in accordance with the regulations.
