Happy World Environment Day! On this day, we share some eye-opening facts on why PEB Solutions are the future of sustainable construction: 1. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that traditional construction generates 23% of air pollution and 40% of drinking water pollution, whereas prefabricated construction cuts energy consumption by 67%. 2. Waste reduction is notable, with traditional methods wasting around 30% of building materials, while prefabrication lowers this to 1.8%, according to the Waste & Resources Action Program (WRAP). 3. With construction primarily conducted offsite in controlled environments, noise pollution is minimized, benefiting workers and neighbouring communities. 4. In terms of carbon emissions, studies by MDPI and the Modular Building Institute reveal an 86 kg per square meter reduction and up to 45% less carbon emitted by PEBs, respectively, compared to traditional construction. . . . . #nezonegroup #worldenvironmentday #steel #circulareconomy #sustainablility #PEB #Reliability #Innovation #PreEngineeredBuildings #PEBStructures #NezonePEB

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, the focus is on #GenerationRestoration – safeguarding our land against desertification and drought. The construction industry, as a major resource user, has a vital role to play in this effort. Concrete, a widely used building material, has a significant environmental impact. Fortunately, innovative solutions like low carbon concrete are on the rise. These advancements involve utilising recycled materials and capturing CO2 emissions during production, which ultimately reduces the industry's carbon footprint. By embracing these sustainable practices, the construction industry can actively contribute to land restoration. This not only conserves precious resources but also helps mitigate the risks of desertification and drought for future generations. #construction #sustainable #recycling

🏢 Ever wondered what happens to waste from the construction and demolition of buildings? Well more than 75% of it ends up in landfills. This waste includes wood, drywall, asphalt shingles, bricks and clay tiles. So what can be done to make construction more sustainable? Sustainable construction focuses on using less energy, water and materials to generate less waste and carbon emissions. At Geocycle, we provide the expertise to recycle raw materials into low-carbon building materials, while diverting waste from landfills. In 2023, we turned 14 million tons of waste into alternative raw materials and fuels, reducing the consumption of natural resources and decarbonizing the production of construction materials.

🌬️ 𝗧𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗶𝗿 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀: 5 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 🚧 Construction sites are notorious for dust and pollution, but it doesn’t have to be that way. With the right strategies, we can create healthier environments for workers and surrounding communities. Here are five actionable ways to improve air quality on-site: 1️⃣ Control Dust Implement water suppression, barriers, and automated solutions like Airveda’s Smog Gun Automation to effectively reduce airborne dust. 2️⃣ Low-Emission Equipment Switch to electric or hybrid machinery, and ensure regular maintenance to minimize harmful emissions. 3️⃣ Proper Material Handling Store materials in covered areas and handle them carefully to avoid dust dispersion and contamination. 4️⃣ Real-Time Air Monitoring Leverage sensors and apps to monitor air quality in real time and take swift action when pollution levels rise. 5️⃣ Go Green Incorporate sustainable practices with eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient equipment to minimize environmental impact. 💡 Read more on our blog: https://lnkd.in/g6ZBprdb

♻️ Circular Economy for Road Construction 🛣️ Circular economy describes economic, technical, and environmental systems aimed at eliminating waste and maximizing resource reuse. It employs design, recycling, reusing, remanufacturing, and restoration to preserve "virgin" materials, reduce waste generation, and maximize waste reuse. 🚧 In road construction, an interesting way to implement this concept is through the use of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) and Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) 👉 RAP and RCA are generated when asphalt and concrete pavements are removed for rehabilitation and repaving. The milled materials can be utilized with a rigid confinement system in the base layer of new pavements. . The use of RAP and RCA has well-recognized economic and environmental benefits and, when combined with advanced confinement systems, can offer high performance for long-term projects.

𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗮 𝗵𝘂𝗴𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲—𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗷𝗼𝗯𝘀 A Cornell University study highlights that transitioning to a circular construction industry in New York could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and generate up to $3 billion in economic growth. Construction activities produce 7.7 million tons of waste annually, with 58% disposed of in landfills or incinerated. Deconstruction, which involves carefully dismantling buildings for material reuse, could enable over 90% of these materials to be reclaimed, creating 12,600 green jobs. The study advocates for policies to promote deconstruction, emphasising its economic and environmental benefits, including reducing embodied carbon emissions by up to 75%.
