Top Sustainable Construction Materials to Build a Better Future
A recurring theme in discussions about the future of construction is sustainability. The building sector is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), accounting for 37% of global emissions, largely due to material production.
According to Auto Desk, the construction industry must do better to protect the environment. This is, after all, the only planet we can live in (that we know of), so promoting sustainability will serve us — and future generations.
The good news? Construction pros are already taking steps in the right direction. Builders are now exploring sustainable construction materials to replace things like concrete, which is a major source of emissions.
This post rounds up some notable examples of sustainable construction materials. Have a look and see if you can use them in your projects.
