Abstract: Recently, many structural projects have started to be implemented in our country with the aim of urban transformation. As a result, the construction wastes are a serious environmental problem. To ensure that the environmental impacts of these wastes are at a minimum, all stages of the production process must be taken into consideration for environmental and structural sustainability. In this study, the construction and demolition wastes as a consequence of urban transformation and settlement are examined in some world countries and in our country. A new construction and demolition waste management system has been established for the Konya province by examining the recovery and other disposal methods in detail.
