In the paper, prepared for the Slovenian proffessionals from building sector, geopolymers are presented. First, definition and scientific basis are given. Then, most commonly used materials (mainly waste) which are used for the geopolymer prepration and influential characteristics are presented. At the end, some examples of recent uses of geopolymers in the world building praxis are presented (pavement, fences, and first use of geopolymers for construction purposes in 2014 in New Zeland).
