Abstract

The waste generated from cutting marble blocks into slabs not only pollutes the environment but also challenges the efficiency of industrial spatial planning. The substantial volume of solid and liquid waste produced demands a strategy that integrates spatial design with sustainable technological solutions. Technologies such as filter presses for liquid waste treatment and precision cutting systems effectively minimize production waste and its impact. Strategic spatial layouts that separate production zones from waste management areas enable smoother material and waste flow while reducing environmental contamination risks. Architecturally, an approach that embraces circular principles creates opportunities for repurposing waste into construction materials. Industrial spaces designed to prioritize workflow efficiency, functional zoning, and space optimization allow waste management processes to integrate seamlessly into production. This method enhances operational sustainability, reduces unproductive space usage, and aligns architectural design with eco-friendly waste management practices. The adoption of sustainability-driven systems fosters a synergy between architectural design efficiency and waste management, contributing to ecological impact reduction and waste valorization as a potential resource.
