Sustainable Building Materials – A Green Leap Forward!

Material demand in building structure may change due to emerging trends such as designing buildings to be more energy-efficient, constructing buildings from materials that last longer and are less carbon-intensive, reducing material losses at construction sites, and enhancing the reusability and recyclability of construction materials.

To mitigate climate change impacts from the building sector, low-carbon and especially carbon-sink materials and products have been considered as one of the most important mitigation opportunities. Many regional and national governments have established green building product labeling systems and carbon labeling systems, which further foster the implementation and market penetration . . .
