Energy and labor are spent on raw materials used for production, raw material transportation and transportation until they reach the customer after they become finished products. These high costs reduce competitiveness in the market. In this study, it has been studied on the thinning of porcelain tiles to reduce the cost and to take advantage of transportation. Two different size tiles, which are the most preferred in the market, were selected. In the study, the possibilities of making thinner and environmentally friendly tiles were investigated by characterizing the selected porcelain tile bodies. Çanakkale Saribeyli Region bentonite was used in the body instead of Istanbul clay at the rates of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2% and 2.5% by weight, respectively. The body recipes, which were prepared in standard thickness and thinned by 0.5 mm, were fired at 1185 °C temperature. Shrinkage, water absorption, color and mechanical tests of the studied compositions were carried out. As a result of the study, the tile thickness thinning process was carried out in industrial trials in accordance with TSE standards, supported by laboratory test results, and the advantages it provides for transportation cost, environment and human health were demonstrated.</p></abstract>
