The main goal of this study was to examine the production of paints using waste generated from the processing of granite and marble, offering an innovative and sustainable solution for the construction industry. By reusing these materials, the research delves into the paint’s composition, applying advanced statistical methods to ensure its performance meets technical standards and matches the quality of commercial paints already on the market.
