Turkey, due to its location in the Alpine-Himalayan belt, has numerous marble deposits. More than 250 marble types with different colours and patterns have been produced from these deposits and one hundred of these are well known around the world. One such well-known marble type is Afyon-Iscehisar. Afyon-Iscehisar is Palaeozoic in age and has been quarried since the era of the Roman empire. The Afyon region is known as one of the most important marble production and processing centres in Turkey. The Afyon province, which possesses 3.5% of exploitable marble reserves (3,872,000,000 tonne) in Turkey, yields 9% of the total marble block production. The 409 marble processing plants in Afyon produce 19% of the total slab in Turkey. As a result of marble production activities, approximately 340,000 tonne of marble waste has accumulated in the area. While some of these unshaped marble blocks are re-used and returned to the economy, the majority are discarded. There are two waste marble storage fields located in the Afyon-Iscehisar region. All of the solid and fine-grained marble waste is stored in waste marble storage fields in Susuz Boğazi and in the nearby Iscehisar marble quarries. The ecological effects of the marble waste, which were once discharged everywhere and exhibited visual pollution, has now been reduced to a minimal level.
土耳其因其位于阿尔卑斯 - 喜马拉雅地带，拥有众多大理石矿床。从这些矿床中已产出了250多种颜色和图案各异的大理石类型，其中有100种在世界各地都很知名。阿菲永 - 伊斯切希萨尔就是其中一种知名的大理石类型。阿菲永 - 伊斯切希萨尔形成于古生代，自罗马帝国时代起就已开始开采。阿菲永地区是土耳其最重要的大理石生产和加工中心之一。阿菲永省拥有土耳其3.5%的可开采大理石储量（38.72亿吨），其大理石荒料产量占全国总产量的9%。阿菲永的409家大理石加工厂生产的板材占土耳其板材总产量的19%。由于大理石生产活动，该地区已累计产生了约34万吨大理石废料。虽然其中一些不成形的大理石块被重新利用并回归经济循环，但大多数都被丢弃了。阿菲永 - 伊斯切希萨尔地区有两个大理石废料储存场。所有的固体和细颗粒大理石废料都储存在苏苏兹博加齐的废料储存场以及附近的伊斯切希萨尔大理石采石场中。曾经四处排放、造成视觉污染的大理石废料对生态的影响现已降至最低水平。
