With the use of mass-produced construction materials, the amount of waste we produce during the construction process has increased rapidly. Avoiding waste is going to be an important marker of the sustainability of our current construction sector. If we fail in this, we will continue to see the construction industry contributing massively to waste as well as pollution. Avoiding these two big issues is important for everyone to focus on.
Accomplishing this can be done through a variety of different methods, with varying degrees of success. For any business, they have a responsibility to become sustainable. For construction companies, one great way of doing this is by using renewable sources as materials, such as replacing plaster with clay. There are other methods to reduce carbon pollution. Making bricks is a quite polluting process, but by adding air bubbles to the mix, you can reduce the total amount of materials used, while maintaining the strength of the building materials. This has a significant impact on pollution levels during the building material production process.
