Sustainable Green Solutions You Won't Believe Exist
Energy-Efficient Building Materials
The construction industry is a significant contributor to global carbon emissions, but sustainable building materials are changing the landscape. Materials such as cross-laminated timber (CLT) and recycled steel are gaining popularity due to their low environmental impact and high strength. CLT, for example, is a renewable resource that sequesters carbon, while recycled steel reduces the need for mining new iron ore2. By incorporating these materials into construction projects, builders can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of new buildings.
