Green materials can replace concrete

The production of commercially viable concrete releases a tonne of carbon emissions annually, contributing to global climate change. The following building materials are alternatives to concrete because the level of impact on the environment is lower than that of concrete.

The straw

Straws are used to make walls, straw bales are placed in metal frames. This material can replace concrete, wood, gypsum, fiberglass or stone.

Concrete plants

Concrete paving method for floors, paths, pavements, roads for cars, allowing grass or vegetation to grow on the surface. This method offers the benefit of reducing the use of concrete, improving water absorption and drainage.

Dirt

Stratum has been used in construction for thousands of years and will continue to be used for a long time. The house is built with clay in a modern method safer when using reinforced bars or bamboo.

Hempcrete

Hempcrete is a lightweight construction material, shaped like a block of coal, made by mixing hemp into lime. Although the material is structurally unstable, it offers natural flexibility and insulation. This ultra lightweight material can significantly reduce the transport energy.

Bamboo

Bamboo is really a promising building material for modern buildings. Bamboo is a combination of durability, light weight used for framing buildings. Bamboo is a substitute material for reinforced concrete, especially in difficult traffic areas, which need to be rebuilt after natural disasters.

Recycled Plastic

Instead of extracting, researchers are creating concrete with plastic and reusable rubbish. This method will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and also provide new applications for waste treatment.

The wood

Wood is much more beneficial than many industrial construction materials such as concrete or steel. Not only is it possible to absorb CO2, wood does not require energy-consuming methods to handle it.
