With an increasing number of government regulations encouraging net-zero carbon future to limit global temperature rise, the construction industry is on a way to design, construct and operate buildings that improve their environmental sustainability along with the internal environment for users.
Along with growing awareness and restrictions, consumer awareness holds a major significance in promoting renewable materials in construction. Wood is one of the most sought after renewable resources that can contribute to sustainability in the construction industry. With the help of Green concrete technology, construction companies are utilizing waste materials with recycled commodities such as mining wastes, glass wastes, and burnt clay to develop renewable materials for construction. The output is a low-maintenance and long-lasting renewable material for construction called green concrete. Manufacturers are designing these concretes while keeping in mind the entire construction life cycle, composed of structural design, parameters, production techniques, and maintenance methodologies.
Plastic bricks are the other product of technology that are used as renewable materials in construction activities. This product is unique in its way of spreading eco-friendliness as it gives a viable solution to the ever-increasing challenge in the disposal of plastic. It is an innovative concept where plastic is reused and mixed with cement aggregates to crate shapes of bricks. This has proven to be a spectacular solution for overcoming the long-standing issue of plastic waste.
