opportunities by entering the material/waste/by-product information they want to buy and/or
sell and following the current material information of other companies. As Nurol Construction, in
2019 we became a member of the Materials Marketplace Platform, which is a Business and

demobilization process of Balıkesir Motorway Project with the buyers through the project. In this
way, waste materials were reused and contribution was made to the circular economy.
